St. Francis of Assisi, the beloved 13^th century saint, sought with all his heart to live the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Inspired by that singular desire that has enlivened the imaginations and ministries of men and women of every generation since, we the Friars and Staff of Campus Ministry strive to:

Inspire young men and women to follow Christ and embrace and live the values of the Gospel within the context of the core values of the Catholic University of America.
Encourage our students to participate as fully as possible in the liturgical and devotional life of the Church.
Live our common life on campus as a witness to the community which we serve.
Inculcate a special love and concern for the poor and those in need.
Promote the culture of life in the hearts of our students, on campus and in our nation.
Encourage a regard for nature as a gift from God to be used, developed, preserved and revered.
Instill in our students a faithful respect for the Church's Magisterium and a desire to always promote unity and charity within the Church.
Serve all members of the CUA community regardless of their religious beliefs or practice.
Act as student advocates by serving their corporal and spiritual needs through a ministry of presence.

The Friars and staff involved in Campus Ministry strive to accomplish these goals in close association with the appropriate CUA University Departments, Offices and Administration
