Campus Ministry

Rev. James T. Gallagher, C.S.C., director

Campus Ministry anchors the life of the University of Portland community in the knowledge of God's presence. Our concern for the dignity of every human being as God's cherished child directs us to assist all members of the University community to discover the deepest longing in their lives. Formed in the tradition of the Congregation of Holy Cross, we share in the University's central goal of educating the heart and mind. Rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition, we respect and seek to nurture the faith development of Catholics, other Christians and all who seek God with a sincere heart.

This mission is brought to life through a rich array of liturgies, retreats, faith-sharing groups, sacramental preparation, pastoral counseling and student leadership opportunities.

Campus Ministry's main offices are in St. Mary's Student Center. There is also a Campus Ministry office on the first floor of Franz Hall and on the second floor of the Chapel of Christ the Teacher.
