About Us

Who We Are

Catholic Campus Ministries assists the 10,000+ Catholic students and employees at Penn State in nurturing their faith through daily and weekend liturgies, retreats, service and social justice projects, prayer and faith sharing groups and organizations such as the Newman Catholic Student Association.

For those preparing to join the Church, Campus Ministry provides the opportunity to learn about the faith in the company of a warm and supportive community through the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults. In addition, Catholics discerning a religious vocation have the support and guidance of ordained clergy.

We encourage you to become a regular member of the Catholic campus community by registering with us at a Mass one of the first few weekends of school. Similar to the process of registering at a parish, registering with the campus ministry helps us keep in touch with Catholics on campus and allows for us to issue a certificate should you be asked to be a sponsor for Baptism or Confirmation.
