Campus Ministry
Connect. Encounter. Live.
United in Prayer
We unite in prayer for the family of our Theology faculty member Mary Elmstrand, who tragically lost her 27-year-old brother, Paul Elmstrand, Sunday morning. He was one of the two police officers, along with a paramedic, killed this past weekend in Burnsville. We offer our condolences to Mary and her family as well as the families of the other two men, as they grieve this terrible loss.
A Mass will be offered for Paul this Tuesday, Feb 20th at 8:00 a.m. in the Florance Chapel, which is located in the lower level of the Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas. Please join our community as we continue to keep Paul and his family in prayer.
At the 12:10 Mass on Monday, prayers were offered for all three men who tragically died in the line of duty.
Campus Ministry celebrates the diversity of faith traditions represented in our university community by meeting the pastoral and spiritual growth needs of all. Our office provides a supportive environment for students seeking to grow in faith and understanding of God, and we work to deepen our community’s commitment to spiritual growth and social justice through a variety of prayer, service, formation and educational opportunities.
As a Catholic university, we are inspired by the Gospel’s call to service and the Catholic Church’s call to ecumenism and interfaith dialogue. Our mission is to invite and encourage all to encounter the presence of God in the world. Marked by faith, hope and charity we invite people of all faiths to join us in prayer and worship as we move and act to transform ourselves and the world.
