Catholic Campus Ministry (CCM) is a Christian community rooted in the belief that Jesus Christ is the way to fullness of life. Catholic Campus Ministers and students join together to learn about their faith, grow in relationship with Jesus Christ, and have fun with friends!

Spiritual Center Resources

Meditation Chapel: Open to all students whenever the Spiritual Center is open (generally 8am-8pm during the fall and spring semesters).
Study rooms: Need a place to study or to meet with friends for a group project? We have multiple rooms and there is also always the main chapel space that has table and chairs available provided there are no events happening.
Kitchen: Need to make a quick little dish? We have a small kitchen that is open to students. Please just make sure to clean your dishes and put them back where you got them from.
Library: The Cora I. Grove Spiritual Center also has a student library for faith-based books. We have a large collection of Catholic resources. Come visit room 218 to check them out!
