Office of Campus Ministry

About the Department

The campus ministry department at Benedictine University Mesa focuses on each individual student, guiding them in their faith formation during their time at the school through ministry activities, bible and faith studies and worship services. It also ensures that the University fulfills its mission as a Catholic and Benedictine institution, enriching the faith life of the campus as a whole.

About the Staff
