The sacramental life of the Church presents several opportunities for people to experience the gift of God's love, friendship, and healing. By actively participating in the Sacraments, we celebrate our relationship with God and offer praise to him for all the blessings of our lives. Through the celebration of the sacraments as a community, we are able to grow in our sense of connection to others, as well as sense our responsibility to work toward the common good of all people. As Catholics, we believe that Jesus Christ invites us to share in these signs of Grace and that they help lead us to a truer sense of ourselves as persons and as children of God. Sacramental opportunities are listed on the right side of this page and explained further by clicking on the Reconciliation, Marriage Preparation, and Joining the Church links on the left side of this page.

Students and university employees may, from time to time, find themselves in need of assistance in working out some important issue in their lives. In addition to sacramental opportunities, the Campus Minister is also available to offer Spiritual Direction and short-term Pastoral Counseling. For further information on these services, please click on the appropriate link on the left side of this page.

Additionally, the Newman Association, Campus Ministry office, and cooperative efforts with the colleges and universities in the Diocese of Erie all offer opportunities for spiritual retreats. These retreats range from introductory experiences to formal directed retreats. Click on the Retreat link to the left to learn more.

Finally, if you are in need of professional counseling or any other service, the Campus Ministry office will do its best to connect you with the appropriate assistance you seek. Contact the Campus Minister by email or by phone if you need help finding other services.
