Day of Caring 2010
The Day of Caring is Wednesday September 15th!
Last year, over 275 students, faculty and staff participated in United Way's Day of Caring. This year we hope to have even more people participate! The Day of Caring will take place on September 15, 2010. The day is divided into a morning shift and an afternoon shift. Members of the AMC community are bused to locations all around Worcester to get out in the community and show they care. This year, please register online at https://resources.annamaria.edu/index.php/day-of-caring.html If you require more information, please contact Maria Bari, Director of Campus Ministry at mbari@annamaria.edu or x205. |
About 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. |
Day of Caring 2009 --- Another Huge Success!
Over 300 students boarded buses in front of Madonna Hall at Anna Maria College to travel to Worcester to take part in the United Way’s Day of Caring. As part of its mission as a Sister’s of Saint Anne College to serve the Common Good, AMC students, faculty and staff participate every year in the Day of Caring, as well as engage in other social service initiatives locally, and nationally through Habitat for Humanity.
During this year’s Day of Caring, students visited approximately 12 different sites throughout the greater Worcester community and raked, cleaned, painted and conducted other tasks that were needed to help area non-profit agencies address maintenance issues that they otherwise would not be able to afford.

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 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 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. |
