This opening campus ministry Homily speaks directly to students navigating the challenges of transition—whether moving into a dorm for the first time, saying goodbye to parents, or entering the workforce. With humor and honesty, Fr. Raymond reassures students that though the journey can feel daunting, they are not alone. Drawing on the Gospel’s reminder that “many will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough,” he emphasizes that growth in academics and faith depends on what one puts into it.
Campus Ministry, he explains, offers more than just events; it is a place of challenge, encouragement, and support—providing opportunities for deeper formation, retreats, and even counseling when needed. These years are not only about earning a degree but about encountering Jesus Christ personally, discovering who you are, and discerning His plan for your life. Ultimately, this is a call to maturity: to step into adulthood with courage, faith, and the willingness to go deeper.
