Charis Ministries

The work of Charis is rooted in the 450-year-old tradition of Ignatian Spirituality that we have adapted for 21st century adult Catholics. Each Charis event – including retreats, days of reflection, service days, speaker series - reflects the teachings of St. Ignatius and is relevant to and designed especially for men and women in their 20s and 30s.

Ohio Campus Ministry Connection

The Catholic Conference of Ohio has created a web page to help graduating seniors pursuing higher education in the State of Ohio connect with the campus ministry programs and area parishes where students will be studying.  Graduating seniors can complete the information form at:

http://www.cdeducation.org/oym/cm/connection.htm

The data collected on the form will be sent directly to the Ohio diocesan director of campus ministry for the Ohio college or university the student is going to attend. The diocesan director will then communicate this information to the appropriate campus minister or nearby parish.
