WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

Campus ministry is a core part of life at the Abbey. You will have lots of opportunities to learn and grow in faith with fellow students, from local service projects and mission trips to student-led music ministry, Bible studies, and retreats on campus.

We also partner with FOCUS missionaries whose full time goal is to preach the Gospel and walk in faith with you. They plan events on campus throughout the year to keep you engaged and involved in your faith walk.

The Mary Help of Christians Basilica is the beating heart of campus. It’s open for students and visitors to join the Benedictine monks for liturgies, or for personal prayer and reflection. You can also stop into the campus Adoration chapel throughout the day or visit the Marian grotto.

Give your spiritual life a lift

I was able to grow deeper in my faith and fall in love with God all over again. I was challenged by my peers, professors, and the monks to take advantage of every opportunity that I had at the Abbey, including daily mass, confession, and a beautiful adoration chapel outside my door.
