FLIGHT Campus Ministry

Faith and Leadership in God's Hands Today

Mount Mary students jump in with both feet, take risks, try new things, and in the process often grow in unexpected ways. Mount Mary’s strong Campus Ministry program is just one way you can get involved in campus life.

Campus Ministry works in light of the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) mission of promoting “unity in the midst of diversity” through attitude and action. People of all faith traditions are welcome! See Campus Ministry vision and mission.

The image of FLIGHT carries us forward as an acronym for Faith and Leadership in God’s Hands Today, with the mission of the college and of campus ministry central to programming. We seek to move students up and beyond where they are spiritually and personally through a leadership approach in line with the campus wide model of Transformative Leadership. Activities flow out of the model's four core components for mission and leadership development: Competence, Commitment, Community, and Compassion.

For students seeking individual mentoring, the Campus Minister is available for appointments and may be scheduled by phone or e-mail. Contact the Campus Ministry Office, Caroline Hall 154, (414) 258-4810, ext. 366.

Campus Ministry provides resources and opportunities for developing a stronger spiritual sense of life in light of a lived faith and active awareness of Catholic Social Teaching.

Waffle Wednesdays are back! The first Wednesday of every month stop by Notre Dame Hall, room 43 for a free waffle.

Praise and Worship is an opportunity for people of all faiths to come together for reflection and music. This will take place every other Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. starting September 5.

Women in Faith Dialogue is a chance for people of all faiths to come together and learn about different religious traditions. We will meet once a month. Starting date and time still to be determined.

Box Out Homelessness: Mount Mary College would like to raise awareness about homelessness by hosting a prayer vigil along with camping out in boxes for a night. This gives students the opportunity to learn in a small way what it is like to be homeless.

Connection with the SSND's – At various times throughout the year students have the opportunity to meet School Sisters of Notre Dame and learn about their charism and experiences.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament – Once a semester Mount Mary College offers Eucharistic Adoration along with the Sacrament of Reconciliation for those students interested in this personal experience.

Charity Events – "Trick or Treat so Others can Eat" (October), Toy Drive (starting after Thanksgiving), Blood Drive (September 26), Water Challenge ( February – March)

Spring Break Service Immersion – Every year students from Mount Mary College give of their time over Spring Break to serve those in need. The location for this service experience changes every year. The types of service can be anything from tutoring, doing minor home repairs to serving a hot meal. At the end of each day worship and reflections are conducted to share the students' experiences for the day.

Spring Spiritual Retreat, April 26 - 28, 2013: Even though our schedules are busy it is very important for us to take time for ourselves. The Spring Spiritual Retreat will be an opportunity for students to take a break from the busyness of life, to reflect on their relationship with God, have some quiet relaxation time, and meet new people.

Volunteer Opportunities – Throughout the year Campus Ministry offers various volunteer opportunities.  Some of the past ones include making lunches for Repairers of the Breach, assisting in the clothing clinic at House of Peace, and helping at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission.

Food Fast Retreat – This 24-hour food fast focuses on global poverty and hunger. It offers a journey of solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world.
