RCIA Information Session
RCIA Information Session
Do you believe in the possibility of a God, but wonder what difference that makes in your life? Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic faith? Are you Catholic but never received Confirmation? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are not alone, and you are invited to our opening sessions of RCIA. RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and begins with a time of learning and asking the big questions. Choosing to participate in that initial period of inquiry by no means constitutes a commitment to becoming Catholic or receiving the sacraments.

Freshman Retreat
Get to know your classmates and dig deeper into your relationship with God! This retreat is open to incoming freshmen of any religious background. Register or get on the waiting list with the link below.
Belmont Abbey Bluegrass/Folk Jam
Belmont Abbey Bluegrass/Folk Jam
Join us every Friday evening from 7:00-9:00 pm at Holy Grounds Coffee Shop on the beautiful campus of Belmont Abbey College. All ages and skill levels are welcome. The focus of this jam is building confidence while gaining familiarity with the (mostly) bluegrass repertoire. You’ll play a mixture of bluegrass and folk, with some gospel, country, and Irish. The jam also references the Queen City Bluegrass Jam songbook. Please note that while the location given is Holy Grounds Coffee Shop, and this will remain normative going forward unless otherwise noted, we will also meet in front of the adjacent Haid theater once the weather gets cooler. Contact Stephen Tomlinson with any questions at stephentomlinson@bac.edu.
Blithe Spirit
Blithe Spirit
Blithe Spirit opens on August 24th! In an attempt to find material for his next book, Charles Condomine hosts a spirit medium in order to contact the souls of those who have passed over. When someone from Charles's past is brought into the world of the living, things don't go according to plan. From Noel Coward, this farce in three acts is one of the most beloved British comedies and is being brought to The Haid stage for the very first time! *Free BAC student tickets for all Performing Arts shows now at the door 30 minutes before curtain. BAC Faculty/Staff should use code to secure free tickets online.* Details: https://tinyurl.com/yh7sbnkv
