Campus Ministry

Rooted in the rich tradition of the Sisters of Mercy, Mount Aloysius College values a person's faith development as an integral part of education for life. The Campus Ministry program concerns itself with the spiritual and religious development of students. It also concerns itself with the important task of forming a Christian community that supports values associated with the rich tradition of Catholicism and other faith traditions. Campus Ministry provides opportunities for worship, pastoral counseling, educational programs, sacramental preparation, retreats, programs of fellowship and outreach to others. Persons of all faiths are welcome to participate in all these opportunities.

Campus Ministry provides many opportunities to serve. Service trips are available throughout the year. Other projects include awareness days, fundraisers for the needy and soliciting donations for local food pantries. Through its auspices, students enjoy membership in the PCCMA (Pennsylvania Catholic Campus Ministry Association) and NCSC (National Catholic Student Coalition).

Our Lady of Mercy Chapel is located in the Chapel Wing adjoining the second floor of the Main Building and is open daily for prayer. All students and staff members are welcome regardless of denomination. Special services are held for Mercy Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Lent and other occasions.
