Outreach Activities

Besides serving others, we have the great commission of our Lord to "go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations."(Lk 28:19) Jesus was all about proclaiming the Kingdom of God and so that is our mission as His disciples. We proclaim the kingdom through:

Reconciliation

We seek to be a community of welcome and healing, especially of those who seek reconciliation with the Catholic Church. Feel free to talk to any of the ministerial staff members.

Through our Peer Student Ministers, we strive to be a welcoming Catholic presence at the University of Minnesota.

Ecumenism and Interfaith Dialogue

We are proud to be part of the Interfaith Campus Coalition, an interfaith coalition made up of some of the major religions represented on the University of Minnesota campus: mainline Christian denominations; Hillel, the Jewish student center; as well as Muslim ministries. We collaborate on shared promotions, advocacy for students spiritual needs, provide on site crisis chaplains and act in planning campus prayer services in the event of major crisis, such as 9/11 or the death of a student.

We are inviting Fr. Tom Ryan, CSP to lead us in a workshop on Interfaith Dialogue. Fr. Tom is the director of the Paulist National Office on Ecumenism and Interfaith Dialogue. He has had a wealth of experience working in dialogue with other religions. Keep an eye out for future announcements.
