Office of Campus Ministry
http://ministry.catholic.edu
The role of campus ministry is to support the members of the Catholic University community in their growth as individual persons and as a community able to celebrate and live the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The staff exercises its ministry in a variety of ways: through gathering the community for prayer and liturgy; through social justice projects, community service, educational, and social events; and through sacramental preparation, pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, and retreats. As we strive to grow into a more faithful Catholic community at Catholic University, it becomes obvious that campus ministry is not the work of a few, but of many. Members of the student ministry staff live in community at The House, giving witness to the Gospel by sharing their time and energies with the larger community. They do this through liturgy, programs, and personal presence. Resident and off-campus student ministers are invaluable on-site animators of the community.
The pastoral and professional campus ministry staff, composed of clergy and laity, seeks to be an open and affirming presence for students, faculty, administrators, and staff.
