Welcome to CSB Campus Ministry!

Campus Ministry at the College of St. Benedict is committed to accompanying students on their spiritual journey, and enhancing their understanding of foundational Christian values as understood in Catholic Social Teaching and Benedictine Values.

Professional and paraprofessional Campus Ministry staff encounters students where they are in their faith journey and accompanies them through weekly celebrations: breaking bread together, formation of Christian conscience, exposure to other world faiths, active engagement and advocacy for the Common Good, and opportunities to pray and participate in retreats.

CSB Campus Ministry functions under the inspiration taken from the 2002 US Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Pastoral Letter entitled “Empowered by the Spirit: Campus Ministry Faces the Future.” (insert link) We take guidance from the six ministerial functions listed supporting the Church’s mission to those in higher education while reaching out to both believers and non-believers in fidelity to the Benedictine core values.

Our ministry includes:

Liturgy
Faith Communities
Alternative Break Experiences
Spirituality and Social Justice

In addition to the above ministries, CSB Campus Ministry works closely with our faith partners on campus:

St. Benedict's Monastery	St. John's Abbey
SJU Campus Ministry	School of Theology
Theology Department	Companions on a Journey/CORAD
Faith Based Student Clubs	Koch Chair in Catholic Thought & Culture

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord." Luke 4:18-19
