Make a name for yourself through Campus Ministry, which is one of the most energetic groups at Holy Name. Our ministry is as diverse as those who comprise it. We are one in the Lord and one in the mission of the Church!
We are unique, not a program centered on the occasional retreat, but rather one that helps students to develop their relationship with God through a process of spirituality. Our program is shaped by a more than 100-year-old tradition of faith and built on a solid foundation – the most “Holy Name” of Jesus.
We are a Eucharistic-centered community of young believers enthusiastically living our faith, striving to grow stronger in the grace and goodness of God and one another! Our chapel is the center of our institution in which students pray or receive morning Eucharist every day.
Join us as we celebrate our growth in the Lord through:
All-Class Retreats
