Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry focuses on the care of the whole person: spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and physically as they relate to their own life and their relationship with God. Our goal is to offer opportunities for faith development through encouraging a personal relationship with God and building a faith community on campus.
Faith development takes on many forms: worship and liturgy, sacramental preparation, retreats, faith education, spirituality, formation for leadership, pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, community building, social activities, and service outreach. An alive faith extends far beyond the walls of a chapel and colors how we live all our days.
Responding to ethical issues and participating in projects that highlight peace and justice in our world are priorities. Campus Ministry programs offer a forum to engage in discussions with faculty, staff, administrators, and students on topics that are relevant to culture and society. Campus Ministry also sponsors lectures and activities that make faith and justice real components of living out the Gospel.
Since AMC is a Catholic college, our programs flow from our Catholic tradition and stress the practices of the Catholic religion. However, all our programs are open to non-Catholics and take into account the interfaith reality of our campus population.

Service Projects
There are opportunities for students to take part in service to the Anna Maria Community and to the local community at large. Please see Maria Bari in Campus Ministry to get involved. The HABACATS, AMC's Habitat group, is also a way for students to get involved in service. Students in the club help with fundraising events during our winter and spring break trips; help educate the community; and of course help with community builds all across the United States. Students have taken trips to Michigan, Florida, and Louisiana. This group is a way for the college to give back to people in need.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Individual confessions can be scheduled with AMC Catholic Chaplain Fr. Manuel Clavijo.
