Student Activities

Catholic Campus Ministry

Catholic Campus Ministry (CCM) is an organization dedicated to helping students grow in their faith and love of God. Although we are a Catholic organization, all are welcome to attend our meetings and activities. CCM meets every Sunday at 6:45pm at St. Pius X Church. Our weekly activities include:

• Participating in the SU Mass at St. Pius X Church on Sundays at 6pm
• Rosary Prayer Group at 7:30pm in the Newman House
• Bible Study at 8pm in the Newman House

CCM also holds events with the St. Pius X Youth Ministry and volunteers as Religious Education Aides at St. Pius X Church. On February 24-26 we will be taking a retreat with other colleges in the Diocese of Harrisburg. The theme is "Search for Christian Maturity."

This semester, CCM is proud to announce the opening of Newman House, a Catholic resource center on campus. Newman House provides a variety of materials about the Catholic faith which are available for loan to anyone in the SU community. The Newman House is also where a variety of CCM activities take place including Bible Studies, Rosary Prayer Group, Movie Nights with the St. Pius X Youth Ministry, and social gatherings. Newman House is located at 312 University Avenue. Our hours are:

• Tuesday 12-1 and 8-9
• Wednesday 11-12 and 7-9
• Thursday 12-1 and 7:30-9:30
