Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry, located in Busse Center, seeks to provide holistic support, empowerment, and hospitality to all on campus. Campus Ministry includes the Chapel of Mercy, the offices of the Mission & Ministry staff, and the Campus Ministry Lounge. The Chapel of Mercy invites prayer, quiet reflection, and worship. The lounge offers space for studying, relaxing, gathering, and enjoying a comfortable cup of tea or hot cocoa. A variety of student-focused activities are hosted by Campus Ministry throughout the year to empower students in their pursuit of fulfilling relationships with God, others, and self.
As a Catholic Mercy university, we promote purposeful living through our Mercy values and Catholic Identity, which is rooted in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition and Catholic Social Teaching. The Catholic Intellectual Tradition promotes innovative thinking, probing inquiry, supportive interaction, and celebration of the diversity and inherent dignity of all. All are encouraged to share their unique, valuable perspectives and experiences in collaborative pursuit of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. Furthermore, Catholic Social Teaching articulates principles to assess our current realities and empower us to respond to the needs before us. At Mount Mercy, all are invited to actively participate in service and justice through engaging with the Critical Concerns of the Sisters of Mercy: Racism, Non-Violence, Women, Immigration, and Care for the Earth.
