Campus Ministers at Boston College promote The University’s Jesuit, Catholic mission by working collaboratively to offer the University community multiple and regular opportunities for worship, retreats, service immersion, and pastoral care.

Campus Ministers also work in partnership on other Mission and Ministry initiatives, as well as other University initiatives, focusing predominantly on the intellectual, social, and faith formation of undergraduate students.
