Campus Ministry
Faith in Action
Campus Ministry is at the heart of the Marmion student experience. Through opportunities such as annual class retreats, daily Mass, mission trips, spending time with local nursing home residents, facilitating faith based events for middle school students in area parishes, experiencing the joy of Special Olympic athletes, retreat leadership, mentoring, liturgical ministries, amongst many others, students are able to come alive to their faith and form a personal connection with God and others.
Following the Benedictine motto of Ora et Labora, prayer and work, our students transform into men of Marmion and young men of faith who recognize God’s presence in their lives, develop a selfless drive to share their gifts in service to others, and become committed to living authentically as Christians in today’s world.
