Mission and Ministry Center

Explore Your Faith and Spirituality

The Saint Mary's Chapel, the heart of our campus, and the Interfaith Sacred Space are open. Please utilize these spaces for moments of quiet individual prayer and meditation.

The Mission and Ministry Center vision is...

Grounded in and inspired by our Catholic, Lasallian, and Liberal Arts Traditions…

Rooted in and striving to fully realize Five Lasallian Core Principles: Faith in the Presence of God, Concern for the Poor and Social Justice, Inclusive Community, Quality Education, and Respect for All Persons…

Committed to providing spaces and places where all can explore their faith and questions of human existence, as well as deepen their understanding of & relationship with God; and forming students as leaders in a complex world in great need of visible and radical witnesses of love and solidarity.
