Building a Community of Faith, Service and
Friendship
Campus Ministry on each of our campuses is people and
programs and, most importantly, a presence within the community.
Because St. John’s is a large commuter and resident school, you may
think it could be tough to find a home when you first get here.
Campus Ministry can be that home. College is a time when you will
be faced with many choices - personally, socially, spiritually and
professionally. You don’t have to face those choices alone. There
are 15 Campus Ministers present and available throughout each of
our campuses to serve as guides for students in all aspects of
their lives.
Lent 2008
Lent is a time of 40 days of preparation for the celebration
of Easter. In this time, the Church asks us to pray and to help the
poor in an effort to renew our lives. Imagine how you will do this
in your life...

Walk for the Homeless
A 5K walk on Good Friday, April 6, 2007, in solidarity with the
poor of our city. As Jesus died for us all on this day, we hope to
demonstrate our willingness to share in Christ’s suffering, so that
the world might share in His resurrection.

Campus Ministry welcomes students of all religious traditions
while at the same time encouraging our Catholic students to deepen
their Catholic identity and to become active participants. As a
community of faith, service and friends, Campus Ministry takes
seriously its unique role in expressing St. John’s distinctive
Catholic and Vincentian identity as
embodied in the University’s mission.
St. John’s is Vincentian in tradition and because of this, we
seek to instill in the University community a deep concern for the
rights and dignity of every person, especially the poor and most
vulnerable. Many Campus Ministry programs offer a hands-on approach
through volunteering one’s time, energy and talent. Others provide
a setting where the social and theological reflection helps
students understand human suffering on a deeper level.
Campus ministers are excellent resource people and are always
available for any type of counseling, spiritual guidance,
supportive service or referral information. Some live in the
Residence Halls while others travel with the athletic teams. All
seek to be a pastoral, supportive presence with all students on the
journey through St. John’s that leads to personal, spiritual and
professional growth. Feel free to call us on the Queens Campus at
(718)990-6255, on the Staten Island Campus at (718) 390-4475 or
stop by any of our offices.
Campus Ministry welcomes everyone of all faiths
and invites ALL to be a part of our campus community!
