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. 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.

The offerings include weekly Sunday liturgies during the academic year, Community Prayer on periodic Wednesday’s at noon, retreat offerings like our Soul Break in October, and special speakers or events. Activities are posted on the My Mount Mary calendar.

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.

• November - Busy Person's Retreat The Busy Person's Retreat provides students, faculty, and staff the opportunity for personal spiritual development and reflection on issues of meaning and faith. This retreat includes ½ hour direction each day with a spiritual director, a commitment to personal prayer and meditation, and evening presentation/group prayer time/ discussions. This retreat is open to all faith traditions and can be geared specifically to your spiritual needs.
• February - Building Bridges of Compassion Retreat
• March - Spring Break Service Immersion Trip
  This Tennessee experience takes students to the "Forgotten Appalachia" where they will work within the community making minor or major home repairs such as bedroom/bathroom renovations, roof repair, floor replacement, dry walling, painting, or any other expressed needs. After the days of working students will have time to join together as community in prayer and worship, along with discussions of the culture, and social justice issues.
