Santa Clara University

Campus Ministry strives to be a leaven within the University community so that
the Living God may be present to all people: students, staff, faculty, and alumni. In
keeping with the Jesuit tradition of developing the whole person, and with the ideal
that all of us be people for others, Campus Ministry seeks to facilitate growth in individuals
and the community by its presence, programs, and services. To attain this vision,
Campus Ministry offers the University community a variety of programs:
liturgies and other sacramental celebrations, retreats, counseling and spiritual direction,
educational forums, interfaith sharing, and Bible studies. Campus Ministry collaborates
with all segments of the community in the planning and execution of its
programs.

The Campus Ministry staff reflects the reality of the Church today: a team of
women and men—lay, religious, and priests—who collaborate with student interns
and all segments of the community in the planning and execution of our programs.

In all of this, Campus Ministry is guided by the words of the prophet Micah: “This
is what the Lord asks of you, only this: to act justly, to love tenderly, and to walk
humbly with your God.”
