CATHOLIC CAMPUS MINISTRY At USF, ST. PETERSBURG

We are a community of believers on the USF St. Petersburg Campus devoted to ministering to all people regardless of their religious affiliation or lack thereof. We welcome everyone to join us no matter who and what you are. As a Faith Community, we come together to pray, to study and to play. We subscribe to the total person concept.

We come together to Pray: Prayer is the bedrock upon which our ministry on this campus is based. We pray together in community, especially at Mass. We pray in solitude, one on one with the Lord.

We come together to Study: We promote Bible study, instructional homilies and studies in Church doctrine.

We come together to Play: We have a variety of social activities including parties and barbecue events.
Our goal is to give all of us the opportunity to know each other better as members of the same Family. By loving one another as Jesus loves us, we help each other to come closer to the Lord, Who is our Brother.

Father Mario Di Lella, O.F.M. is the official Campus Minister. Father Mario is a Franciscan Priest who served the Catholic Community at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia for 38 years.

We meet in Room 133 in Campus Activity Center (CAC) at 7:00 PM on Thursdays. We welcome everyone regardless of their religious affiliation or lack thereof. And, we mean it! Come yourself. Bring your friends to meet us.

WELCOME HOME MINISTRY

Welcome back! The Welcome Home Ministry for Returning Catholics is a program designed to help non-practicing Catholics return to the Catholic Church. The Welcome Home Ministry meets at 7 p.m. in the Parish Center, the first Monday of every month. Contact the Parish Office for more information. Two excellent sites for more information are: Catholics Come Home website (CatholicsComeHome.org) and the Returning Catholics (http://returningcatholics.org) websites.

If you or someone you know is....

has some unresolved issues and might benefit from sensitive, informed discussion about Church teachings;
baptized in the Catholic Church, but did not finish their Faith Formation;
divorced or married outside the Church and may wonder if they are still wanted in the Church today (you are!);
feeling alienated or unworthy

our ministry is the answer!
