Lisle Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry
Reflective of our Catholic Benedictine tradition we practice hospitality by welcoming all, informing community committed to the common good, and living lives of meaning and purpose. Through volunteer events, interfaith dialogue, faith formation programs, and leadership opportunities, Campus Ministry celebrates all that makes our community Benedictine.
“I am Benedictine. I serve.”
