Campus Ministry welcomes people of all Christian denominations and faith traditions to participate in its programs. In addition, it will be happy to refer any student to the many other churches, mosques and synagogues in the South Bend area for worship. Campus Ministry provides a series of retreats each semester - the most popular being the Notre Dame Encounter and the Freshman Retreat. Programs of catechetical instruction for those seeking baptism, those wishing to join the Catholic faith and those preparing for confirmation are also available. A full program of preparation for those planning marriage in the Catholic Church is also made available to students through Campus Ministry.
Personal counseling is available in our various offices and in the residence halls.
Campus Ministry offices are located on the Hesburgh Library concourse, on the ground floor of Badin Hall next to the bookstore, in the Pasquerilla Center and in LaFortune Student Center's O'Hara Lounge. Rectors and assistant rectors work closely with Campus Ministry to provide the opportunities to explore the spiritual aspects of life for students at Notre Dame.
