Long Island Campus Ministry

Long Island Campus Ministry

The Office of Campus Ministry of St. Joseph's University, New York plays a vital role in instilling the University's five pillars — integrity, intellectual rigor, spiritual depth, social responsibility and service — into the fabric of the University community.

Through our community outreach and reverence for the sacred, St. Joseph's University's Campus Ministry pushes to help establish a world where there is respect and dignity for all.

Spirituality

Campus Ministry is committed to fostering the faith journeys of all on our campus, especially our students as they begin a new journey in their lives. Events and experiences such as weekday Masses, retreats, days of recollection, spiritual direction/counseling and multi-denominational prayer services assist our community on their journeys. St. Joseph’s University is based in the Catholic tradition, but we encourage persons from all religious backgrounds and traditions to participate in our events.

Service

Campus Ministry's commitment to service is one that centers on a deep concern for the rights and dignity of every person, especially the poor and most vulnerable. We offer a variety of programs throughout the year, such as food drives each semester and a holiday gift drive which help support local organizations. We also offer a yearly Spring Break Mission and Service trip which provides opportunities for students to travel, interact with diverse communities and expose them to ideas and experiences that enhance their worldview. The Office of Campus Ministry also supports the Food for Thought Food Pantry which helps provide resources and food to members of our community experiencing food insecurity. 

Social

Campus Ministry hosts various activities that build life-giving relationships. Social events involving Campus Ministry encourage students, faculty and staff to come together and build friendships with people of varying backgrounds and interests. Some events include a semesterly coffee house for students to gather in fellowship, and support for important celebrations in our university community such as Founders Day and the Feast of St. Joseph.
