University of Dayton

A University of Dayton education goes beyond academics, athletics and activities. We strive to educate the whole person, and Campus Ministry aids your personal and spiritual development by creating a deep sense of faith — regardless of your religious beliefs. Involvement in Campus Ministry is completely up to you, but we encourage you to participate in our ongoing events, campus liturgies and programs.

Worship Opportunities

As a Catholic, Marianist university, numerous worship opportunities are available for our Catholic population. Worship opportunities are regularly scheduled, and many of our Masses are nearly entirely student-run — you can sign up to be a communion minister, lector, Mass coordinator or music minister. A weekly interdenominational service is also
available. Visit the Worship Opportunities Web Site >>

Retreats and Faith Communities

Need a change of pace? Campus Ministry schedules numerous retreats throughout the year, allowing you to get away from daily life and take time to reflect. Led by teams of five to 25 students and campus ministers, you can relax with friends, explore spirituality through community reflection and dive deeper into your faith.

Fill your stomach and calm your nerves with Prayer and Pancakes. Take a break every weekday with 15 @ 5. Faith-sharing groups give you the opportunity to enrich your faith and create community with others. Many groups are available, including scripture study, retreat follow-up, social justice and more.  Visit the Faith-Sharing Groups Web Site >>

Residence Life Ministry

At UD, you do not have to venture far from your residence hall to get involved with Campus Ministry. Each residence hall has a campus minister who works to foster your personal and spiritual growth, as well as create programs to fit your interests. You can join a small group, attend weekly Mass or other prayer opportunities, lead a retreat team, participate in service opportunities, seek answers to hard questions and meet new friends — all within your residence hall!
