Campus Ministry seeks to support all students in the practice of faith, following in the mission of the University to educate both the heart and mind.
All students are welcome to participate in Campus Ministry retreats and programs and to attend Mass.
In addition, there are plenty of on and off campus resources for students who want to explore and grow in faith traditions outside the Catholic faith.
Fish is a student-led Christian community that gathers for worship, faith-sharing, and fellowship on a weekly basis and draws students from many denominations. Fish also engages in fun community-building activities and coordinates Bible Studies.

Retreats take place throughout the year and offer a range of ways to engage with questions of faith, vocation, and identity while in college. Retreats range in size and focus, from a small silent retreat to residence hall retreats. All are welcome!
