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.
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 stop by any Campus Ministry
office.
Campus Ministry welcomes everyone of all faiths and
invites ALL to be a part of our campus community!
