Even though Saint Martin's University is a Catholic affiliated institution, our campus is also very diverse when it comes to religion. Personally, I see this as a marvelous opportunity for individual growth and enrichment. Campus Ministry's mission is to "blend faith into student's daily lives" and facilitate "spiritual growth". Since there might be a variety of beliefs and traditions, uniformity of religious belief is not necessary. Faith is the one factor that we have in common and it unifies us in order to fulfill our mission.
Saint Martin's University is a Catholic Benedictine institution; Benedictines were founded by St. Benedict of Nursia of Italy. As a Catholic Benedictine institution, we embody certain values: community, stewardship, hospitality, stability, listening, and learning. My personal favorite value at Campus Ministry would have to be hospitality. With hospitality, we strive to be approachable towards everyone. I feel that these are marvelous values not just for Catholics to live by but for everyone.
I would like to invite you to attend at least one Campus Ministry event in order to be a part of this "spiritual growth" and experience more of these Benedictine values.
