Q: If my son or daughter is not Catholic, what services are available?

A: Nearly every activity we offer is a potential growth experience for people of any religious tradition: meaningful ways for all students within their respective religions.

Our activities include programs in prayer and reflection, social justice concerns, the moral issues of our day and a wide range of volunteer opportunities. We are interested in the faith development of all our students; faith is a great gift from God and we are dedicated to nurturing it in as many ways as possible.

People of all religious backgrounds have always found a home in Campus Ministry.

Q: Are churches and synagogues of other denominations located near campus?

A: Our area is rich in religious diversity; services for many denominations are within walking distance of the College. At the beginning of each academic year, Campus Ministry gives specific information to non-Catholic students if they have noted an affiliation on their census card.
