Campus Ministry
Creating moments of pause, prayer, and perspective
The heart of our University
Seek, Pray, Grow
As a faith-based university rooted in the Catholic tradition, Campus Ministry provides a pastoral presence for HNU students, faculty and staff that promotes spiritual growth and care for others through liturgy, service, retreats, faith formation, and interfaith services. We embrace the special charism of the Sisters of Holy Names of Jesus and Mary in order to animate the core values at the heart of our University.
How do you seek something bigger than yourself?
Deepen your spiritual life
Campus Ministry creates an atmosphere of reflection through community prayer, hospitality and connection, and small group activities that we hope to inspire and enable all community members to grow in and deepen their own spiritual journey. We craft and curate moments of pause, prayer, and perspective in response to the immediate needs of our community while also maintaining a tradition of annual events that express the wide variety of spiritual backgrounds that thrive here at HNU.
Hospitality and Connection
Join with others who want to explore God's presence in the joys and challenges of life. Where are you being led as you make decisions for the future? How are you being called into deeper faith and generous service? We welcome all seekers to grow and deepen in spirit.
