Gaining more traction to live our faith.
No other initiative has gained more traction or solidified true community as efficiently and effectively as the University Ministry’s Freshman Retreat, where new students connect, pray, and learn how to flourish in their faith in a new college environment. Investing in the University Ministry Excellence Fund provides the necessary funding to offer a meaningful Freshman Retreat experience that leads to record-high numbers of students attending daily Mass, weekly men’s and women’s groups, and monthly talks about faith throughout the academic year. By investing in this initiative, donors will help us create a memorable and impactful experience for freshmen, fostering spiritual growth, community building, and a sense of belonging from the very beginning of their university journey.
Ensuring a transformative spiritual experience for all.
Donations are crucial for supporting University Ministry as they enable us to sustain and expand our special events, spiritual guidance, and community outreach programs on campus, and share the Catholic faith with students and the Saint Leo Community. Your generosity will be instrumental in extending the reach of our ministry, ensuring that every student can access transformative spiritual experiences grounded in our Catholic Benedictine tradition.
“We’re helping our students thrive academically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
I am deeply moved by the generosity of our donors, whose contributions profoundly impact the lives of our students. Your donations enable us to continue providing essential services that empower our students to thrive academically, emotionally, and spiritually. - Kevin Floyd, Director of University Ministry
