OUR HONOR TO SERVE YOU

SPECIAL PRAYER INTENTIONS AND PASTORAL COUNSELING


It doesn’t take long to realize that college life can be very complex and difficult. This is especially true if you are away from home for the first time, balancing a full-time student schedule, working, married, in a significant relationship, or raising children. There are times when these situations create moments of sadness, stress, anxiety, and other emotional and spiritual hurdles.

Because you are important to our community and your success is a high priority for us, Campus Ministry is here to offer you support and encouragement during your challenging moments.

Our team is honored to provide counseling as you face life’s challenges, explore your spirituality, and develop your faith at Mercy College.

We also offer the ministry of prayer for all those in need in our college, community, and the world. We invite you to make your own prayer request using the online form, or by writing your request in our prayer intention book located in the entryway of the Brennan Hall Chapel.

These intentions will be remembered in the prayers and Masses offered in our chapel throughout each week.

Faith & Healing

Our Faith and Healing Speaker Series explores topics of faith, healing, and wellness from different perspectives while highlighting Catholic theology and practice.
