Questions to ask

Tick them off as you go. The best people to ask are the campus minister, a theology teacher and current students.

At a public or secular university (ask the campus ministry)

  • When are Mass and confession? How far is the Catholic center from the residence halls?
  • Is the chaplain full-time? Are there FOCUS or Saint Paul’s Outreach missionaries?
  • What does a first-year student’s week look like if they get involved?

Campus culture and residence life (ask students)

  • Where do Catholic students gather? What groups are most active?
  • How many retreats are offered each year, and how many students go?
  • Are single-sex halls available? What is the visitation or overnight guest policy?
  • Is there a hall chaplain, or Mass in the residence halls?
