Mission

The Office of Campus Ministry and Service Learning, guided by the mission and values of Mercy College, inspires students, faculty and staff to grow in their understanding of spirituality and service.

Campus Ministry

Campus Ministry at Mercy College serves the entire college community. It is rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition, yet is designed to serve all people regardless of faith or denomination. Through worship, prayer, pastoral care, service, and reflection, Campus Ministry desires to help the college community in its spiritual growth. Committed to peace and justice, we challenge people to develop their unique gifts in service to the world and to be compassionate leaders in the global community.

Service Learning

Service learning is an integration of organized service into the higher education curriculum in order to both benefit the community and enhance the student’s learning experience.

Through service learning, students are involved in experiential learning with instructor-facilitated reflection. These experiences are typically in a community agency or non-profit organization –always an institution that can benefit from the student’s volunteer effort.

The basis for service learning at Mercy College includes the Mercy College values, the Corporal Works of Mercy (Matthew 25:34-36), and the Principles of Catholic Social Teaching. When we engage in service, we deepen these values in our lives!
