Ever Wonder What Campus Ministry Actually Does?
 
Greetings!

I often get the question, "What does Campus Ministry ACTUALLY do?"  A predecessor of mine would answer this question in a beautifully vague way "We are building up the Kingdom."  Though that is what we as Christians are called to do, it often left people with more questions than answers.  I will try to answer a little more directly.
 
Campus Ministry offers Christian programming (That's right!  We serve more than just Catholics!) for students interested in growing in faith and in their relationship to God.  How do we attempt to do this?  Look at the programs that we are doing.  We have Retreats (Check out the Imagine Retreat coming up here or below).  We also have small faith sharing groups we call CORE groups (Never too late to join. Click here to view details).  We also have many service activities through VITA (Volunteers Involved Through Action) and break service trips.  Not to forget our Sunday Night College Mass and Tuesday Night Mass.  And Much, Much More!  
 
Keep checking out our Good News[letter] each week to find out what is coming up, or check out past issues in our Good News[letter] Archive
 
As always email cministry@css.edu with any thoughts/questions or jokes (clean ones only).
