Welcome to Campus Ministry

And

Christian Service

Our Campus Ministry and Christian Service programs focus on  building a faith community that fosters our development as people who are open to growth, loving, faith-filled and committed to justice through service to those in need. These are qualities that help us to continue being a school in the Ignatian tradition.
We welcome you to visit our web pages and learn about the many wonderful ways that we live and grow as a community that is centered in the invitation of Jesus Christ to “Come, follow me.”


A Quick Reference to Campus Ministry Services

Prayer Ministry and The Community Prayer Book:
There is a Community Prayer Book at the entrance to the Chapel. All are welcome to write the names of the living who have a need in this book. We pray for those people at every Mass offered in our school. You are also welcome to email or call Fr. Betti with a Prayer Request. The All Souls Basket remains in our Chapel throughout the year. You are welcome to place the name of a deceased  loved one in the basket at any time. We remember them at every Mass.

Students, Faculty and Staff are invited to Reconciliation Services in the Chapel during the liturgical seasons of Advent and Lent.  Individual Reconciliation may be requested by contacting Fr. Betti.

Visiting the Sick:
We wish to offer support to all of our families who face a medical problem. Please inform us if someone needs a visit or to receive the Anointing of the Sick. We will try to schedule a visit based on availability.
