C~mpus ministry programs nurture students ,<'._ct 455"' By Veronica Garcia SA ' Dli:GO - Campus ministry programs at San for 'DSU's and lJCSD's Catholit, populauon. Both group also have functions with other campus-based reli- gious denominations.
'"L A CATHOLIC university, campus mini try is integral to the mission and purposi:- of the university it ell," explained Father Michael '.'v1cKay, lJSD campus m1n1stry dircuor. "The values fusu,red here come out ol thcJudeo-Christian tradition in a Roman Catholic way." Unlike 'DSl,; and UCSD, campus ministry at USD 1s upponed by the university, not by the Diocese of San Diego, he said. USD's campus ministry office can communicate easily with various university departments. Therefore, this office does not need social activites to bring together the Catholic community, as do the secular universities, Father McKay said. _ DSU 's "Jewman Center focuses on the spiritual, social, service and education needs of its members, said Eudist Father Willam Roland, who serve some 10,000 Catholic students at SDSU, along with Eudist Father Angus Beaton. UCSD's CAMPUS ministry is divided into two organizations - the Catholic Community and Catholi, Student Coordinators, said Paulist Father Phillip Cunningham, director and 20-year campus ministry vet ran. Only the student group is recognizt•d on campus. Father Cunningham and Paulist Father Peter Abdlla minister to some 3,000 Catholic students at UCSD. The importance of this ministry was emphasized in the U .. bishops' pastoral letter on campus mini try issued last November, father l\-kKay noted. The document "was written to enhance the need for campus ministry on non-Catholic campuses.•• Forty percent of all college freshmen 111 this cou ntry arc Roman Catholic, Father McKay said, citing the pastoral. Le$ than 25 percent of the U.S. population is Catholic, he added . . fATHER MCKAY explained that less support for campus ministry exists at µublic umversit ies where the separation of church and state prohibits university sup· port for religious activities. At uSD, campus ministry emphasizes growing in faith, worship, spiritual/moral formation and apostolic action. Activiues include daily Masses, service projects, prayer groups and Rite of Chri ·tian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) dmses. Both UCSD's Catholic Community and SDSU's New· man Center provide Sunday and weekday liturgics. Retreats, prayer groups and Bible study arc also offered. DANCES AND barbecue are among social acuvities • •
D1tgo Staie Univrrsit~ and the University of California San Diego exist to fulfill the spiritual, .onal and edurn· tional ne,·cls of the 111 lllUllon. • Catholic community - . tudt:Jlts, !amity M1d staff. In contrast, campu ministry at the Un~rsity of §!n D1 · con< crns itsdf only with the spiritual needs of the rnmpus cornmunuy. Herc 70 percent ol tht' student population of ovt'r 5,000 is Catholic.
Campus ministry at SDSU and UCSD offers religion classes, confi rmation preparation and RCIA programs. Both also sponsor service projects such as fond drives fur Tijuana's po01. SDSU' Newman Center is located a block from campus in two converted houses acquired 12 years ago by now Bishop Phillip Straling of San Bernardino when he was administering the center. THE CATHOLIC Commun11y at UCSD is housed in the University Lutheran Church, also located a block from campus. UCSD's Catholic Student Coordinators, however, is located on campus in the student center building. Both Father Roland and Father Cunningham noted that, because UCSD and SDSU arc commuter campuses, many Catholics enrolled o r working a1 these universiues are active in parishes near their homes. Because housing near SDSU is often diffault to find, the Newman Ccnt!'r has a housing referral program. Catholic families in buth Blessed Sacrament and St. John of the Cross parishes notify the center when they haYc rooms to rent, Father Roland said. FATHER ROLAND believes that SD. Li's 1 ewman Center offers more than liturgics and social functions. "We 're looking for future leaders" for the Catholic Church, he said. "The emphasis is on peer ministry. Students are lectors and eucharisiit ministers at !\lasses." They also lead prayer groups and arc part of the retreat team. Father Cunningham said that in recent years religion has moved to the center of students' lives adding to thrir sense of security. ' ' "You don 't find religion mocked in the classroom any· more, " he said. Religion is regarded as a pri\'atc and positive affair, he added, citing a rcccm poll in which 89 percent of Americans said they believe in God . ----- .. "" -- =--
