Campus Ministries

WestConn’s campus ministries offer students a variety of activities and programs.

The Catholic Campus Ministry invites students, faculty and staff alike to consider its Newman Center, located across the street from Newbury Hall on the Midtown campus, a home away from home. Their hours are: Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and closed Saturday and Sunday. This hospitable Center is the heart of the Catholic Campus Ministry, which brings a range of worship, fellowship, outreach and educational opportunities to University life. Come in for information, inspiration – or just for coffee and talk. The welcome mat is out for all!

The WestConn Christian Ministry, located in the Student Center at Midtown, is a community where students find opportunities to ask questions, to grow, to serve and to belong. Congeniality and a spirit of focused involvement are key here. Members come together to catch up on what’s happening on campus and in life during activities such as lunch bunch. Wednesday night fellowship invites spiritual sharing and celebration. Praxis (which offers learning through service in the community) and Alternative Spring Break (when students travel to Mexico to work with Habitat for Humanity) are programs specifically geared to empower the spark of volunteerism in students. Reel Faith, as the name implies, meets for movie reviews and lively discussions on the impact of film on our lives.

For students belonging to other faiths, please contact the number listed below for information regarding on-campus contacts or services in the Greater Danbury area.
