What Mass and Adoration Times Are Offered at Newman UMass?

Updated

Newman UMass (the Newman Catholic Center) hosts Mass and Adoration as its main religious services, and the center describes itself as a "home away from home" for the UMass community. The website lists Mass times and Adoration times, but the specific schedule is not spelled out in the text available here — so the reliable way to get current times is to check the site directly or call 413-549-0300.

What the Center Says About Mass and Adoration

The Newman Catholic Center's homepage includes a section headed "Join us for Mass and Adoration," with "MASS TIMES" and "ADORATION" listed as separate items. That confirms both are regular offerings, but the page evidence does not include the actual hour-by-hour schedule.

If you need the exact times, use one of these:

  • Check the website — the Mass and Adoration section is where times are posted.
  • Call 413-549-0300 — the center invites people to call with any questions.
  • Email [email protected] — listed as a contact for questions.

Who Can Attend

The center presents itself as open to the UMass community and describes itself as "your home away from home." The site does not restrict Mass or Adoration to students only, and it invites anyone with questions to reach out. If you are not a student and want to confirm before visiting, a quick call is the safest check.

Building Hours Around Mass and Adoration

If you plan to attend, these are the posted building hours, since you'll need the building to be open:

Day Hours
Sunday–Thursday 8:00 am–10:30 pm (during the academic year; 5:00 pm otherwise)
Friday 8:00 am–5:00 pm
Saturday 8:00 am–5:00 pm

Note the academic-year caveat on Sunday–Thursday: the later 10:30 pm closing applies during the academic year, and the building closes at 5:00 pm otherwise.

Other Things to Know Before You Go

  • Newman Cafe is on the first floor. Students can swipe meal cards, and breakfast is available all day. Cafe hours are Sunday–Thursday, 8:00 am–2:00 pm during the academic year, and it is closed during UMass breaks.
  • Amenities include study rooms, pool, chess and checkers tables, a library, and outdoor patio seating — useful if you want to stay before or after a service.
  • The center has been at UMass since 1963, so it is an established presence on campus rather than a new group.

The Short Answer

Mass and Adoration are both offered at Newman UMass, but the exact times are not included in the information available here. Check the "Join us for Mass and Adoration" section of the website or call 413-549-0300 for the current schedule, and plan around the building hours above so you arrive when the doors are open.
