The Faith & Justice Leadership Council oversees our growing faith and justice initiatives in Campus Ministry, and includes three teams:

• Mercy Works Core Team

• Immersions Core Team

• Advocacy and Engagement Core Team

In addition to working on their unique areas, all three core teams will gather as one Leadership Council for prayer, community, and formation monthly. A lower-commitment leadership opportunity is also available, Mercy Works Small Group Leaders, who lead reflection for Mercy Workers in small groups. Please see these position descriptions for more information. All are welcome! Contact Cassandra Palmer (cpalmer7@nd.edu) to inquire.

Our Multicultural Ministry seeks to make Campus Ministry, Notre Dame, and the Church a place of belonging for all students of any background. We recognize that the intersection of faith and culture(s) reflects the richness of the global Church and reveals the grandeur of God. Our Multicultural Ministry Leadership Team includes three Core Teams:

• Latino Student Ministry Core Team
• Black Student Ministry Core Team
• Asian Student Ministry Core Team

This is an exciting opportunity to grow in your faith, develop as a peer minister, and become more involved in Campus Ministry! Open to all students, regardless of denomination or faith tradition. Contact Elizabeth Tomasek (estroude@nd.edu) to inquire.

Sponsors serve an essential role as they accompany students discerning becoming Catholic or getting confirmed through our year-long OCIA or semester-long Short Course. Please fill out this form if you are interested, or contact Brett Perkins (brett.perkins@nd.edu) if you have questions.

Plan and lead an on campus retreat over the Easter Break as part of this dynamic retreat team! Apply for the Paschal Watch Retreat Team here or contact Emma Marsden (emarsden@nd.edu) with questions.

Whether you’re an undergrad, a grad student, a faculty member, or a member of staff, we’d love to have you lead others as they seek Jesus! Small groups will be assigned in one of three ways:

• Through residence halls

• Through clubs and interests (sports, majors, performing arts groups, multicultural groups, etc.)

• Randomly through Campus ministry

Please apply here if you’re a student or here if you’re a faculty or staff member interested in leading either a Bible study or a book club. Please feel free to contact Meg Hunter-Kilmer (mhunterk@nd.edu) with any questions!
