Campus Ministry

The mission of Campus Ministry at Thomas More University is to invite the entire University community to engage in a journey of discovery of a friendship with God by infusing prayer, presence, and programming through sacramental, cultural, and co-curricular initiatives and drawing upon the Catholic Intellectual Tradition to form the whole person: mind, body, and soul.

Potential Students – Schedule a Campus Visit

While maintaining a Catholic identity, Campus Ministry is open and inviting to everyone, embracing the mission of Thomas More, which is as follows:

Thomas More University is the Catholic Liberal Arts University of the Diocese of Covington, Kentucky.  Inspired by the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, we challenge students of all faiths to examine the ultimate meaning of life, their place in the world, and their responsibility to others.

There is something for every student here at Thomas More.

The following types of programs are available:

Students enjoy free coffee while listening to an inspiring life story by a University faculty or staff member. Students of all beliefs attend and are able to share and engage in our community where you find common grounds.

Attend a candle-lit service of Eucharistic Adoration accompanied by student-led music to encounter Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Students can serve as an extraordinary minister of holy communion, lector, server, or sing or play in our Sunday mass choir.

Take the opportunity to grow closer to God, hang out with friends, and escape from the stress of everyday life. Watch for flyers and signups around campus.

This group plans events that welcome students from other countries and cultural backgrounds so they can feel at home. Be on the lookout for flyers!

This group puts on worship nights with live Christian music played by students. Come and sing along to praise the Lord!
