Forming Servant Leaders through an intentional & personal relationship with Jesus Christ through His Church.

Our Ministry & Mission

College is one of the most pivotal times in a young person's life. Every day, college students make decisions about their career path, lifelong friends, and vocations. The choices people make in college can be life-changing, and the most important choice is whether they will stay Catholic.

Catholic Campus Ministry at SMU is a home for forming SMU students into Servant Leaders through an intentional and personal relationship with Jesus Christ through His Church. Since 1932, CCM has provided an environment on campus for fellowship, sacramental ministry, study, community service, spiritual enrichment, and leadership development. The ministry is committed to being a profound presence on campus as inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We strive to form servant leaders into world-changers who live their Catholic faith professionally and personally.

Currently under the leadership of Fr. Kevin Kolker, Catholic Campus Ministry at SMU serves the largest religious group of students on campus with diverse programs designed to meet each student "where they are." Ministries and programs include Mass and the sacraments, OCIA, Bible studies, mission trips, community service, Awakening Retreat, discipleship, FYSH (first year student homes), and our popular Sunday Supper. For our students, the Neuhoff Catholic Student Center is their "home away from home."

Our goal is to raise $100,000 to support our campus ministry's programming to serve our SMU students. Your generosity will directly impact our mission to form faith-filled servant leaders, empowering students to deepen their relationship with Christ and serve both our campus and community.
