Campus Ministries


Campus Ministries is rooted in the Dominican Charism and the four pillars of study, service, spirituality, and community. With a foundation of Catholic identity, Campus Ministries brings together students and employees in the common search for Truth in the Dominican Way in an accepting and inclusive environment. Campus Ministries offers people the chance to live out their individual faiths and grow spiritually while at Molloy University. Campus Ministries sponsors retreats, Masses, prayer services, and service experiences both locally and globally.

The Office of Campus Ministries is in Public Square 390. All are welcome to come relax in the Campus Ministries lounge where we offer friendly hospitality to students and employees. The Sacred Heart Chapel is located in the parking lot between Fitzgerald Hall and the Hagan Nursing Center and is open for all students when the University is in session. Liturgy is celebrated during the week and on Sundays when school is in session. The Campus Ministries team is always available to meet with students or employees on an individual basis. For further details, the office can be reached via phone at (516) 323-3224 or via email at campusministries@molloy.edu.
