Villa Maria which is a Catholic Christian Community, rooted in Gospel values and steeped in Catholic tradition dedicates itself to calling all members to a deeper relationship with God.
The role of the Office of Campus Ministry is to organize a variety of religious celebrations that provide opportunities for students, faculty and staff to experience and share faith on a day to day, year to year basis.
FAMILY PRAYERS
Each Wednesday the Rosary is offered at 8AM and Communion Services are offered at the beginning of each lunch period for all our families, friends, and world peace. Daily Communion Services are offered during Lent and Advent. Twelve families will be prayed for specifically at these times.
ALTAR SERVERS
By virtue of our baptism in Christ, some of us are called to serve as ministers of the liturgical assembly. Altar Servers assist before, during and after school liturgies.
