Our Campus Ministry Office is directed by Sister Mary Anne Katlack. The Office of Campus Ministry, together with the Religious Studies Department organize monthly liturgies for our students as well as prayer services throughout the year. Students assist in the planning of our liturgies, and our Liturgy and Gospel Choirs provide choral accompaniment. Our students participate in a variety of srevice oriented projects throughout the year including a Thanksgiving Food Drive, Christmas Giving Tree, Breast Cancer Tree of Life, Woman Aware Drive as well as a Penny Drive for various charities chosen by our students. Each class participates in a class-level Day of Reflection off-campus and juniors and seniors may elect to participate in a weekend Retreat at the Sister of Charity Retreat and Conference Center at the Jersey shore.
