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,

lack thereof. And, we mean it! Come yourself. Bring your friends to meet us.
