Recognizing that each student is on a unique spiritual journey, Campus Ministry is a sacred space to explore your relationship with God, self, and others through the pillars of community, leadership, liturgies, prayer, retreats & service.

Embracing our Catholic identity and our mission, we create a welcoming and inclusive space for genuine encounter where persons of all faith traditions—and those still searching—are invited to share their journey.

Developing a prayer life can allow us to grow in relationship with God. Prayer can also inform our actions and allow us to discover where God is calling us.

If you are looking for opportunities to learn more about how to pray you have come to the right place. Reach out about sacramental opportunities, interfaith prayer services, spiritual direction and community prayer groups.

Looking for a space to pray? We have an Interfaith Reflection Room in ETC 204 and a chapel in ETC 319 and Delaney Hall.

On the Newtown East Campus there is a chapel on the first floor and Interfaith Reflection Room on the second floor.

“When God comes, he always calls us out of our house. We are visited so that we can visit others; we are encountered so as to encounter others; we receive love in order to give love.” - Pope Francis

"This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The world is crisscrossed by roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that they lead towards the Good." - Pope Francis
