Mission of the Office of Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry infuses all aspects of faith into the culture at Mount St. Joseph University. We seek to create opportunities and nurture an environment on campus for students to explore and deepen their faith and spirituality through prayer, retreats, community-building, interfaith encounters, service and justice experiences, and to empower students to use their gifts and talents to serve the spiritual needs of the campus community through providing collaborative leadership opportunities.
