~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to welcome students, faculty and staff to the Office of Campus Ministry. Our Mission reflects the Catholic and social justice tradition of the College, respecting the diverse faith traditions of everyone. It is our goal to engage students to be servant leaders and to develop in them the College's core values of compassion, truth, goodness, presence, and service to others. We do this in collaboration with student leaders, staff, faculty and administrators.
Our Office provides daily Mass in the Mater Dei Chapel as well as a non-denominational "quiet room" for anyone to use. Weekly prayer, the Busy Student's Retreat, a Lenten evening of reflection, service projects, the Annual Walk for the Hungry, spiritual direction and special Liturgical events are offered. Check out this site for specific details.
Our Office is located on the First Floor, in the Student Life area, near Classroom 15.

Daily Mass is celebrated in the Mater Dei Chapel at 12 noon. Everyone is welcome. 
Fr. Anthony DeConciliis, C.S.C., Ph.D., President of Our Lady of Holy Cross College, often celebrates our daily Liturgy in the Mater Dei Chapel.

This beautiful statue of Our Lady of Sorrows inspires all who pray before her in the Mater Dei Chapel.

This room is a "quiet room" for anyone to come to and be still. It is used by many students. It is accessed from inside the Mater Dei Chapel, but is separate from it. The quiet room overlooks nature and offers an oasis from everything. All are welcome to give their minds and hearts a chance to rest. Take a moment to check it out!

The symbol of the tree was very important to Blessed Basil Moreau. Trees surround Our Lady of Holy Cross College beautifying the campus and the courtyards.
