Developing Faith

Explore your relationship with God and others

Retreats: A chance for you to reflect on your relationship with God and enjoy the fellowship of other people who are struggling and/or growing on their journey of faith. Two retreats are held each academic year. Retreats are based on students' expressed Spiritual needs. This may be reflected through a Christian- Catholic lens and/or an Interfaith-based lens.
Spiritual Direction: One-on-one meetings with the Director of Campus Ministry or the Campus Ministry Chaplain are available to discuss faith questions and spiritual growth. We are open to connecting you with the spiritual and/or religious resources and supports that you are feeling called to explore.
Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation: If you are Catholic or considering embracing Catholicism as your faith foundation, have not received one or all of these sacraments and want to know more about receiving them, the Office of Campus Ministry will provide guidance and connect you with programs in the local area.
Prayer: Meet with the Director of Campus Ministry and/or Chaplain to learn about different forms of prayer. The Multi-faith Prayer Room is also available for everyone to find peace and have sacred time with one’s own Divine power.
