All are welcome here, regardless of personal history, background, race, age, orientation, etc.. You are invited,
welcomed, accepted, loved and respected here at Catholic Campus Ministry!
Catholic Campus Ministry serves to support Catholic students, staff and faculty at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. The University challenges its students to build their critical thinking and leadership skills to make a difference in the world. During these years of intense intellectual and emotional development, we want to help students grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, be able to engage their faith to the culture they live in and also grow in appreciation of the Church’s intellectual tradition. We provide opportunities for students to celebrate the Sacraments, learn more about the Catholic faith, put faith into practice through service, nurture one’s spirituality and social opportunities.
In addition to formal offerings, Fr. David and Deacon Frank are available to students, faculty and staff who are seeking spiritual direction or guidance.

Catechumenate:
This is the time for the nurturing and growth of the catechumen’s faith and conversion to God.
The second step (Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion): Having progressed in faith and nearly completed the catechumenate, they are accepted into a more intense preparation for the sacraments. These rites are celebrated with the Bishop at the Cathedral during the first Sunday of Lent.
