MACC Campus

About MACC > MACC Campus

 

We invite you to make MACC your home away from home. Students, staff and faculty all work together to create a community of faith, respect, celebration and learning.

Daily life at MACC includes an array of activities and programs for development of the whole person through experiential learning, spiritual development and communal life.

 

To meet the diverse needs of our participants, the MACC staff works with each new group of participants to develop prayer services and Eucharistic celebrations that support their spiritual and educational journey. On the weekends, participants attend services at local churches that offer various liturgical experiences in English and Spanish.

 

Additionally, faith sharing groups and spiritual direction are available both on and off campus.

MACC is located on San Antonio’s northwest side in a quiet, residential neighborhood.

The newly built campus offers comfortable accommodations, modern classrooms, a state-of-the-art computer-based language lab, a cafeteria, a participant lounge and kitchen area, laundry facilities, a unique bookstore, lovely gardens and a peaceful chapel for quiet meditation and liturgical celebrations. The beautiful, hacienda-style complex is within walking distance of Woodlawn Lake, a favorite neighborhood park, graced by a lovely lake, surrounded by a jogging path. Participants also enjoy a large swimming pool at Assumption Seminary, located across the street. MACC is only a few minutes from historic, downtown San Antonio and conveniently close to buslines, a post office, a supermarket and other stores.

 

This central location also provides access to the following academic institutions that allow MACC participants to use their extensive library collections: St. Mary’s University, Our Lady of the Lake University, The University of the Incarnate Word and Oblate School of Theology.

 

For participants seeking a multicultural and multilingual community, San Antonio offers many opportunities and experiences.

 

It is a city rich in history with a unique culture shaped by Mexican, European and Tejano influences. The various cultural attractions, such as the Spanish Missions National Historical Park, and six different museums, reflect the diverse heritage of San Antonio’s people. The close proximity of the border also encourages many participants to travel to Mexico, less than half a day away. Padre Island National Seashore, the Texas Hill Country and Austin, the capital of Texas, are also within easy driving distance.
