Outpouring of the Spirit’s Gifts By: Lori Neale, National Coordinator As we approach our national conference on the eve of Pentecost, I am struck by the outpouring of the Spirit’s gifts over the past year. Through the gifts of our interim national coordinator, Kyle Ferguson, and of our Board and committee members, we arrive at this moment with a new bilingual website, a

developing francophone cau-cus of nine campus ministers, growing justice initiatives, professional recognition and professional development opportunities, an active membership and a healthy financial status. Moreover, our commitment and capacity to build One Body in Christ on campus through a compre-

hensive and professional ap-proach to campus ministry remains strong. Echoing the Pentecost message of the CCCB, I pray, “by the Spirit’s gifts, may the members of our association and all move-ments and associations share in the grace of walking by faith, building in hope, and witnessing to love.”

Canadian Catholic Campus Ministry (CCCM) is a national network of professional Catholic

campus ministers, grounded in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, inspired by the

vision of Vatican II. CCCM exists to bring the Gospel of Christ to the academic world through

a national network; the ministry of the National Coordinator and the Board; publications,

programs and other means of sharing resources; national and regional Campus Ministers’

and Students’ conferences. CCCM has its roots in the early Catholic Colleges in Canada,

dating back over 200 years. His Eminence Cardinal McGuigan was its first Episcopal

moderator in 1946. The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) named the first

National Chaplain in 1948. The Canadian Catholic Student Association (CCSA) is

intrinsically linked to the CCCM by history, mission and spirit. It is a member of one of the

oldest international student movements, the International Movement of Catholic Students

(IMCS). CCCM is recognized as a private lay association of the faithful by the CCCB (2011).

From June 25th to 29th, 2012 twenty-seven Canadian Catholic Campus Ministers traveled to

Yale University New Haven, CT to participate in the 2012 CCCM Annual General Meeting and the

2012 Global Conference of Chaplains in Higher Education themed, “Mosaics in Motion:

Spiritual Leadership in a Multi-faith World.” More than 400 people from around the world

attended the global conference.

During our time together, we discussed such matters as budget

approval, elections of board positions, and the overall direction and

mission of campus ministry in Canada. In addition to the

organizational matters addressed throughout the week, the Annual

General Meeting provided an excellent opportunity for the continued

bonding and sharing of experiences amongst our campus ministers.

CCCM, as an organization, is very blessed to have amongst its

membership a strong collegial spirit of friendship and collaboration

which provides a great source of encouragement and support to our

members.

In addition to the Annual General Meeting, CCCM members were

kept active throughout the week attending and facilitating workshops

at the 2012 Global Conference of Chaplains in Higher Education. Six members of CCCM

presented at these sessions: Marilyn Elphick (Qu(e)erying Religion: MInistry with LGBTQ

Students in an Interfaith Context), Fr. Chris Valka (Virtual Coffee Shops: a Guide to Faith

Formation in a Digital Age), Fr. Paul Anyidoho (Crossing Borders of Faith Paths and Traditions:

Religious Literacy) and Janice Ryan, Sr. Norma McDonald, and Sr. Elaine Baete (Pastoral Care for

International Students: A call for hospitality of diverse cultures and faith).

Please welcome our two newest board members: Martha Fauteux from St. Jerome’s University

and Nancy Quan from St. Mary’s University College. Thank you to you both for your service.

2012 NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Mosaics in Motion

CCCM took advantage of the location of Yale University to hold a joint event with

our U.S. counterparts, the Catholic Campus Ministry Association during the

conference. Campus ministers from both sides of the border shared ideas for

events surrounding the Year of Faith announced by Pope Benedict in light of the

50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council, and the 25th anniversary of the

release of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Particular attention was given to

how to help these documents come alive for our students and faith communities.

We are grateful for the warm hospitality extended to us by the Knights of Columbus,

headquartered in New Haven, and the St. Thomas More Catholic Center and Chapel

at Yale University.

We also promoted the CCCM

Cuernavaca Mexico exposure

program that was established

twenty years ago. The

number of participants has

been dwindling over the years

and this year there were no

applicants. Similar experi-

ences are now available

through campuses and other

organizations, some for

academic credit. The commit-

tee will reflect further on

whether or not, we should

continue to offer the Cuer-

navaca experience. In the

meantime, to help campus

ministers direct students to

these experiences and oth-

ers, Global Connections will

develop a short list of immer-

sion opportunities that explic-

itly link social justice and

Catholic Social Teaching.

In 2010, Global Connections

provided a weekend experi-

ence to expose students to a

variety of social justice oppor-

tunities in our Canadian

context. 21 participants from

6 campuses across Canada

attended. They articulated

their commitment to social

justice and learned from one

another how they can estab-

lish and find support for so-

cial justice groups on their

own campuses. The commit-

tee is looking to offer a simi-

lar opportunity during the

second semester of the

2013/2014 academic year.

The Global Connections

Committee met by phone

every other month to discuss

ways of fulfilling our mandate,

namely to raise awareness of

both the need for Catholic

Social Teaching in our

programming as well as to

provide opportunities for

students to live that out in a

reflective manner. We are

pleased that this mandate

was integrated into the 2012

CCSA National Conference.

Students and Campus

Ministers volunteered at

agencies. They learned about

the organizations and re-

flected on their connection to

the Principles of Catholic

Social Teaching.

A n n u a l R e p o r t

Developing the Profession

The Communications commit-

tee is pleased to report that

we now have a new website.

Operating in French and

English, the website provides

a terrific opportunity to

promote a vision of compre-

hensive and professional

campus ministry and to

welcome Fr. Darren Dias, OP,

Montreal at the CCSA Central

Regional Conference.

In February, Catholic campus communities across the country held more than one-hundred events during Catholic Stu-

dents’ Week. Through this invitation, CCSA unites students who witness to the gospel on campus. Highlights included:

From University of Victoria: A highlight for me was inviting passerby’s into the first-ever

Nightfever in Victoria. It was a week full of blessed events.—Tesi Wagner

From Ryerson University: On Sunday, we held our mass and dinner. Our community came together

for mass and afterwards break bread over a special meal. We shared with familiar friends, old and

new, and looked back on the wide variety of events we had hosted.—Deanna Ridgeley

From St. Thomas More College: The highlight for me was the unity I saw among the student groups

in our Catholic college. It was great to see so many students involved in several different groups,

interweaving, and creating bonds by participating in a wide variety of things. To see it all come

together, under the larger umbrella of our College, gave me faith in the unity of our shared

Catholicism.– Daniel Joosten

Thank you to all the students and campus ministers who helped make this week so successful.

May the seed of your witness throughout Catholic Students Week continue to bear abundant

fruit for years to come, and the lived witness of those who have encountered Christ and placed

Him at the center of their lives will inspire others to do the same! I am looking forward to next

CSW 2014 when once again we will celebrate our faith together and encourage each other to

strive for holiness. - Chris O’Hara, CCSA Chair, 2012
