University Services
Campus Ministry
Acting Director: John Flaherty
Sacred Heart Chapel, which can easily be seen from any
vantage point on campus, provides a strong symbol of the
University’s commitment to Christianity and the Catholic
tradition. The Campus Ministry Center, situated in the
most active and readily accessible part of the campus, is
the location for many encounters with students, chaplains,
faculty, staff, and all who choose to participate in the faith
life of the University community.
In addition to the large number and variety of daily and
weekend Eucharistic Liturgies, Campus Ministry provides
a number of weekend retreats off campus, personal and
religious counseling or spiritual guidance, and a wide
variety of community service programs. Faculty and
students serve as music ministers, lectors, Eucharistic
ministers, and liturgy planners; there are also groups which
meet regularly for theological reflection. The community
service and justice ministry programs provide learning and
practical experiences as well as career opportunities. These
experiences are coordinated with the appropriate academic
and student affairs departments as well as parishes and
organizations off campus. Pastoral services for Jewish,
Muslim, and students of all Christian faiths are also
coordinated through Campus Miinistry.
The Campus Ministry programs are all voluntary and yet are
an integral part of the University’s life. The chaplains have
a visible and explicit responsibility for leadership, but the
faith life and ministry on this campus is accomplished by
many groups and individuals.
Center for Ignatian Spirituality
Director: Rev. Randy Roche, S.J.
The Center for Ignatian Spirituality exists to promote
the integration of Ignatian spirituality with the life of the
University. It serves as a resource for those seeking to develop
a personal spirituality, one rooted in an ever-deepening
commitment to the service of faith and the promotion of
justice. For more than four-and-a-half centuries, Ignatian
spirituality has stood radically open to the diverse ways in
which God enters the history of individuals and groups.
The Center has four main goals:
UNIVERSITY SERVICES / 17
• To develop programs that enable the faculty and
staff to grow in knowledge and experience of
Ignatian education and spirituality;
• To assist those members of the faculty and staff
who desire to integrate Ignatian values more
deeply into their professional and personal lives;
• To encourage and support faculty and staff
members to assume leadership roles in these
spiritual endeavors within their college,
department, and division; and
• To serve as a resource for all members of the
University community interested in Ignatian
values.
The Center can be reached at (310) 258-8695.
