University of Dayton

A message from Campus Ministry

The University of Dayton is a Catholic, Marianist university, deeply committed to the common good.

The Marianists were founded just after the French Revolution solely for the purpose of renewing the faith of the people of France. The founders started by forming small communities to make that happen. They soon realized they could draw more people in to this mission of building and supporting faith by founding and running schools.

As a Marianist school, we remain committed to this core mission, and offer many ways for this to happen for students, most of which involve small communities of faith.   

Campus Ministry Mission Statement:

Rooted in our Catholic and Marianist tradition, Campus Ministry cultivates the faith life of the campus community through transformative encounters with God. We foster spiritual growth through worship, pastoral care, faith formation, service and reflection. Committed to peace and justice, we challenge people to develop their unique gifts in service to the world and to be leaders who nurture human dignity through building faith-filled communities.
