College Students

As a Catholic parish nestled on a college campus, outreach to students is an important part of our mission. Students are encouraged and welcome to become active participants in parish life. Three programs are specifically geared toward our students.  

Encounter

Are you interested in learning more about faith and growing in your relationship with Christ while you are a student at St. Norbert College? Then, our Encounter program is for you! Encounter is a peer-to-peer ministry where students are encouraged to walk their faith journey together through social, prayer, and learning opportunities. Encounter programming is on Tuesday nights at 7:30 PM in the Campus Ministry Student Center.

Frassati

Frassati exists as a community of men deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. Members will be provided with a space and a community in which they can bring and answer questions regarding faith while also growing in brotherhood and community with other Catholic students at St. Norbert College. Frassati also seeks to encourage active participation in the sacramental life of the Church and religious development in and around St. Norbert College.

Chiara

Chiara exists as a community of women deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. In the spirit of Blessed Chiara Luce Badano, members of this club seek to cultivate a heart of service, responding to God in all aspects of life. Through various opportunities for spiritual development in the context of a supportive sisterhood, members seek to live out the fullest expression of Christian love on campus through social and service-based events that foster authentic relationships. The purpose of Chiara is to engage in “little acts of love” following the example of Blessed Chiara, and in the spirit of communio, with others who share the wish to pursue Christ. The group promotes each member’s vocation to live out their faith in the fullest way possible, recognizing that though college life is not always easy, God’s love for us is stronger than any challenge we encounter.

Campus Ministry

Since July 2022, the Parish Office and the Campus Ministry have been in St. Joseph Hall.  The parish staff offices and a small chapel are on the first floor.  The Norbertine Vocations office, Campus Ministry offices, and student meeting and study spaces are on the second floor.  On the top floor, the Campus Ministry Student Center is a large open room with a kitchenette and two side rooms for study, prayer, campus ministry and parish programming.  If you are a St. Norbert College student, this is your space.  Stop by anytime to visit the campus ministry and parish staff or gather with fellow students.  All are welcome!
