Campus Ministry
Hero
At Saint Ignatius, Campus Ministry helps “make space for God”—in the school day, in our daily lives, and in initiatives outside the classroom. Students will work with the Campus Ministry team to plan for school Masses, travel on mission trips, participate in retreats, learn about Ignatian prayer and more. Located centrally on campus, the work of Campus Ministry is central to a student’s formation experience during his four years.
A robust retreat program is a hallmark of Campus Ministry. All students are required to make at least three retreats before graduation: Freshman Retreat, Sophomore Retreat Day, and an overnight junior year retreat. Through these experiences, students grow closer to each other, learn new forms of prayer, and discover God’s presence in their lives in a new way.
Students looking to get involved in faith-based programs and planning at Saint Ignatius will find opportunities in Campus Ministry. They can serve at Masses as servers, acolytes and Eucharistic Ministers. They can play an instrument or sing in the chorus at Masses and prayer services through the liturgical musicians. Upperclassmen are invited to lead retreats, and rising juniors and seniors participate in domestic and international mission trips each summer.
Want to get involved? Stop by the Campus Ministry office, or contact any of the department members.
Daily Mass on Campus
Daily Masses take place in St. Mary of the Assumption Chapel at 7:40 a.m. These Masses are for students, faculty and staff, except for the Friday morning Community Mass where parents, alumni and friends are welcome.
Eucharistic Adoration
Every Friday, the Saint Ignatius community gathers in the St. Mary of the Assumption Chapel from 12:15 pm to 12:45 pm. During this time, students, faculty and staff share in song and quiet reflection in communion with Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament. Additionally, a student offers a five minute faith witness reflecting on how God is working in their life. This time of prayer and quiet reflection in the presence of Christ is a reminder and witness to our community that God is truly with us in all that we do and that Jesus is the true source and summit of our lives and of our faith.
