A major part of the development of the total person at St. Ignatius -mind, body, and heart- occurs through the Campus Ministry programs. Campus Ministry offers liturgical programs, from the Mass of the Holy Spirit, which begins the school year, to the Baccalaureate Liturgy, which concludes the senior's SI experience. Our program includes numerous opportunities for the sacraments, for spiritual direction, and for translating faith into action.
