SUPPORT YOUR CAMPUS MINISTRY
We believe that learning to support the mission of the Church is an integral part of being formed as a disciple. Please consider making or inviting your family to make a sacrificial gift in support of our ministry - the Masses, programs and events, salaries for staff, and more rely heavily on your support! We humbly ask that you consider making a contribution.
