The mission of Campus Ministry is to assist and support members of the community on their faith journey.  Faith development and spirituality are treated as integral and life-long components of each person's total wellness. The Alverno community is diverse in faith, spirituality and denomination affiliations.  Public worship, events and programs reflect this diversity while drawing from Catholic Franciscan traditions.  The goal is to use Franciscan hospitality as the basis for building bridges of knowledge, understanding and appreciation between persons of all faiths who make up the Alverno community.
