CAMPUS MINISTRY

While embracing Hilbert College’s Catholic Franciscan heritage and values, Campus Ministry brings together students of various faith backgrounds in a warm and welcoming spirit of inclusiveness. They are offered a variety of opportunities for religious and spiritual growth and enrichment through on-campus programs, faith sharing, inter-faith worship, spiritual/pastoral counseling, and numerous community service projects. Retreats, nature walks, and pilgrimages are also scheduled to encourage students to discover and celebrate God’s presence within themselves, others, and all of creation. The integration of our Catholic, Franciscan identity in all aspects of our educational experience assists in the development of ethical leaders committed to peace and justice.

Catholic Mass is celebrated once a week in the St. Clare chapel on campus, and on special occasions. Daily and Sunday Mass is also open to the public in St. Francis Park, the home of the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph, directly across the street from campus.

Any student wishing to become Catholic, or to prepare to receive one of the sacraments (such as Confirmation) should schedule an appointment with the Vice President for Mission Integration and Campus Ministry.

Located in Franciscan Hall 108, the Office of Campus Ministry is part of the Office of Mission & Equity. Everyone is welcome to stop by for either an informal visit or a scheduled appointment.
