WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

Campus ministry is a core part of life at the Abbey. All students are invited to grow in faith and friendship! You’ll have lots of opportunities to pray with the monks, receive the Sacraments, share communal meals, and attend student-led retreats.

We also partner with FOCUS missionaries whose goal is to preach the Gospel and walk in faith with you. The missionaries provide a network of small group bible studies, peer-to-peer discipleship, and domestic and foreign mission trips!

OUR CAMPUS BASILICA

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.
