Catholic Campus Ministry exists to help students in their personal, theological, and spiritual growth while in higher education. All campus students are welcome to participate in this ministry which brings faith and college together in dialog.
Catholic Campus Ministry also desires to connect with faculty and campus / local community so that the Catholic tradition will be seen as a partner in the search for truth and wisdom.
The hope of Catholic Campus Ministry - all who participate will be formed and empowered to take their places as leaders in the church community.
