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?
