Campus Ministry

The Office of Campus Ministry is located on the first floor of Mercy Hall. The office supports the spiritual growth of all members of the university community. Our vision of ministry calls us to:

• Gather a diverse and vibrant faith community for worship, prayer, reflection and fellowship.
• Witness to the good news of Jesus Christ and a Catholic vision of wholeness which embraces diversity and solidarity.
• Cultivate faith-filled leaders who have the capacity to transform their communities and their world.
• Animate the GCU community to live our Mercy identity through compassionate service and advocacy of justice.

Campus Ministry’s staff is dedicated to serving the entire academic community - including students, faculty and staff.  In the Mercy tradition, it is open and welcoming to all, regardless of faith, race, age or gender identity.  It regularly partners with a variety of GCU offices, departments, student clubs and other campus organizations. The Office:

• plans and coordinates a wide range of spiritual programs such as prayer services, retreats and interfaith experiences.
• serves as a hub for volunteer work, service learning and social justice programing.
• offers a welcoming place to confidentially discuss personal, religious, and moral concerns. 
• provides Sunday Masses in the Dorothy Marron University Community Chapel and Daily Communion Services in the St. Stephen's Chapel (in the Mansion).  Check with Campus Ministry for the schedule.
• offers an OCIA program for students to explore the possibility of being Baptized, receiving Confirmation or becoming Catholic.
• runs Julian's Cupboard, a food pantry for students experiencing food insecurity.  There are no forms or requirements to utilize the pantry which is located in Mercy Hall.

Campus Ministry is part of the Mission & Ministry Department which is located in Kingscote.
