Our Mission Statement:

The Catholic Campus Ministry of the State University of New York at New Paltz exists to bring God's love and concern to every student, faculty, and staff member and their families. This is done through counseling, knowing individuals, presenting appropriate worship, training leaders, teaching Religious topics, organizing Bible discussion groups, giving retreats, developing volunteer projects and dealing with personal crisis. Our mission is to be available and of service to all.


We are a Catholic student organization striving to love God, love others, and love ourselves.


We meet weekly for pizza, praise, and prayer.  We sing together, talk together, and listen together.  We have guest speakers, student presentations, discussions, and planning for community service projects.  Please see "Meetings & Activities" for more information.

We work in the community of New Paltz and Ulster County to bring God's love into the world in an active way.  We live out our faith by helping those less fortunate than us and by learning from the people we serve.  Our main service projects are with the Queens Galley Soup Kitchen in Kingston, the Pregnancy Support Center in New Paltz, and the St. John Bosco Home for Boys in New Paltz. Please see "Volunteer Opportunities" for more information.

We have an annual mission trip to the Dominican Republic each summer.  We are currently helping to build a chapel in a community of the city of Jarabacoa.  Please see "Mission Trips" for more information.
