Our Lady of Light Chapel

WE have a beautiful "Our Lady of Light" chapel to use each day during the week. WE welcome you into this sacred space to pray, read scripture, meditate, and grow in your Catholic faith. Our chapel was built in 1966 and over the decades has had various changes, from orange chairs and bean bags to the wooden pews and lovely stained glass windows you see today. If interested, we have a history of Our Lady of Light chapel link to the left of the screen for you to read.

Pastoral Care

WE are thrilled to announce that Fr. Ernesto Madrigal and seminarian Patrick Germann, who grew up going to Sacred Heart parish in Turlock, will be joining the Central Catholic family this year! Fr. ErnestoPatrick Germann will be on campus on Fridays.

Fr. Ernesto and seminarian Patrick Germann will be available to students before school, during break, and lunch periods to offer spiritual counseling and guidance. They will also be celebrating masses, enriching religious instruction, and collaborating with our Campus Minister to support class retreats and other Central Catholic events.

As an educational institution rooted in the Catholic tradition, WE understand the importance of having clergy members present on campus and look forward to working in consultation with them on all ecclesiastical matters.
