Catholic Campus Ministry Activities

So many ways for students to be involved ... 

Liturgical Ministries
Consider volunteering for a liturgical ministry! Extraordinary Ministers distribute Holy Communion at mass. Lectors read the Word of God. Musicians enhance our worship together by playing an instrument or singing. And Ushers/Greeters welcome everyone to our gatherings.

Choir
The Catholic choir rehearses one hour each week with our student director and leads the music at Sunday evening Mass once a month. All interested students are welcome to participate.

Bible Study
Catholic Bible Study meets on Wednesdays from 6-7 p.m. with one of the Campus Ministers to discuss and explore the Scriptures and reflect on how they apply to our own lives. There's always food for those who want to make this their supper.

Adoration
First Wednesday of the month at 10 p.m. in the Chapel. 

Retreats
"Time out" for reflection on your own spiritual journey is an important part of growing in faith. CONNECT, CCM's Fall Retreat is November 13-14, 2009.  Our student retreat team promises you a meaningful and spiritually packed day and a half, from Friday evening to Saturday night - and also a good time!  For more information, contact Susan at the CCM office.

Service Trips
CCM offers Service Learning Grants for Catholic students who intend to participate in service learning trips sponsored by Gettysburg College. The amount of the grant is $100, payable to Gettysburg College, to be applied to the total cost of the trip for which the student has been accepted. For more information about these grants, contact CCM or the Center for Public Service.

CCM also sponsors Catholic students for service programs offered by Church-related organizations. To inquire about CCM sponsorship for a program offered through your home parish or diocese, or through the Diocese of Harrisburg, contact the CCM office.

Ecumenism
There are many opportunities during the year to engage in activities with students from different traditions. CCM and Newman Association work closely with the Chapel Staff and Interfaith Council, as well as with other student religious groups, to sponsor special events and ecumenical services.
