Campus Ministry and Community Service
Campus Ministry and Community Service
The offices of Campus Ministry and Community Service, rooted in the charism of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to proclaim the Good News of God’s unconditional love for all, support the mission and make visible the Catholic identity of Marywood University by providing opportunities for liturgy, faith formation, personal and spiritual development, community services, interfaith engagement, and advocacy for social justice. Located in the Swartz Center for Spiritual Life, these offices foster a welcoming and inclusive community of servant leaders who strive to bring the light and joy of the Gospel to our contemporary world. All members of the Marywood community, Catholic or not, are invited to participate and to suggest additional ways in which these offices can serve their needs.
An extensive program of volunteer service opportunities is provided through the Community Service Office. This program enables Marywood students to participate in a wide variety of volunteer projects that offer new experiences and develop skills for the future. Students are placed according to their interests and in response to community needs. Student-initiated activities are encouraged.
