About Us
Welcome!
Welcome to Campus Ministry! Our staff serves students two of Loyola Chicago’s campuses: Lake Shore and Water Tower. We are dedicated to helping students reflect on their relationships with themselves, God, and others. Through our office, students of all faith traditions find a warm welcome where they can find a place to pray and serve during their time at Loyola.
Campus Ministry is also the central hub nurturing Catholic life at Loyola through the celebration of the Mass and other sacraments, opportunities for prayer and catechesis, and training students to be future leaders of the Church. While Madonna della Strada Chapel is the center of Catholic Life on Loyola's Lake Shore Campus, Campus Ministry offers opportunities for Catholic liturgies, prayer, and reflection at Loyola's Water Tower Campus, and Health Sciences Campus in Maywood, IL.
Please join us and become a part of our vibrant community at Loyola!

Vision
We envision graduates whose mature faith and commitment to the common good shape a world of justice and peace.
Mission
Rooted in Loyola's Catholic identity and Ignatian tradition, Campus Ministry invites students to reflect on their relationships with themselves, God, and others as they discern an ongoing response of commitment, conscience, and compassion.
Pedagogy
We value a holistic process of student formation that complements students' rich intellectual development by challenging them to grow socially, spiritually, and emotionally. We strive to place equal emphasis on these three interconnected domains of learning:
Heart - we invite students to attend to their interior spiritual lives by examining how God is moving in their emotions, exploring their God-given passions, and experiencing the joy of being in relationships with God and others.
Head - we challenge students to cultivate a moral imagination by critically reflecting on their reality, recognizing systemic injustice, and letting the wisdom of religious traditions inform their values.
Hands - we accompany students as they embody an ethic that honors the dignity of all, practice solidarity with people on the margins, and intentionality live their calling in hopeful and creative ways.
