UP Campus Ministry
Following on the mission of the University to educate both the heart and the mind, Campus Ministry seeks to support all students in their practice of faith. The reality is that we are all walking our own journey of faith, yet the greatest gifts and learning that transform our lives often come when we support each other along the way. Campus Ministry provides safe and welcoming contexts for individuals to explore questions, concepts and relationships of faith by way of liturgies, worship, small groups, and retreats. Much of which happens by way of student involvement and leadership. Students are also invited to help CM continue to develop and meet the needs of our community by suggesting ideas for new opportunities and initiatives. Campus Ministers as well as Pastoral Residents in the Halls are available as a confidential resource for conversations about pastoral concerns, questions about faith, or whatever you have on your heart that you would like bring out into the open and talk about with someone.
