WINSTON-SALEM — Catholic students at Salem College in Winston-Salem started off the school year right by attending Mass Aug. 28 at the campus chapel.
It was the first time a bilingual Mass was offered on campus for the college’s Catholic Students Association, a branch of the Diocese of Charlotte’s Campus Ministry.
Father Marcel Amadi, chaplain for Wake Forest University’s and Salem College’s Catholic Student Association, was the celebrant.
He encouraged students to live their faith on campus, to stay humble, and to sign up as lectors, choristers and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion for future Masses.
He urged students to be active in the faith and in Campus Ministry because “it’s no longer the faith and church of their parents, but their own faith and church.”
