Keeping the faith for all students.
The Campus Ministry program grounds us in our identity as a Catholic school founded by the Sisters of the Holy Names and inspires us to joyfully live out our faith. It fosters a vibrant faith community that makes the spirit of Mother Marie Rose Durocher’s mission accessible and meaningful to people of all faith traditions. Through experiences such as Catholic liturgies, faith sharing, pastoral care, retreats, and service rooted in the Gospel, Campus Ministry empowers students, families, faculty, staff, and board members to authentically witness to the Good News of Jesus.
