Community Intentions for Prayers
Campus Ministry would like to include our community’s intentions in our prayers. You can include your special intention by submitting your prayer requests below.
Campus Ministry responds to the diversity of our campus by integrating faith, life, and learning within the richness of a vibrant welcoming community. Ministry works to introduce students to the heritage and values of Mount Mercy through a variety of experiences, including class presentations, orientation programs, service outreach opportunities, and special events.
Masses will be held at the Chapel of Mercy in Busse Center throughout the year.

Wednesday, October 18 at 4:00 PM | Nursing White Mass Prayer Service
What is this? The Nursing White Mass dates back to the late 1800s. It is named after the white lab coats traditionally worn by health care professionals, and is often held on October 18—the feast day of St. Luke.
Within the Catholic tradition, there is also a Red Mass for legal professionals, Blue Mass for first responders, Gold Mass for scientists, and Olive Mass for hospitality professionals. We are excited to bring this tradition to our campus so our nursing students and alumni can gather together in prayer and receive a special blessing.

Mission & Ministry offers weekly reflections on our Mustang Musings blog.
Peer Ministers commit and dedicate their efforts to serve God through praise, worship and service. They encourage and enable the spiritual growth of other students and empower them with the gift of God’s merciful love. Peer Ministers are active in their faith and encourage others to grow in their faith by recognizing and sharing their talents. They strive to create a community atmosphere in which individuals of all roles, backgrounds, and faiths can come together and celebrate God’s presence. The organization is made up of two distinct groups.
