Our Vision:

To awaken the missional identity of
the Church at Rutgers University

Our Core Values

We have a Sacramental Heart

Transformed by the Sacraments and liturgical life of the Catholic Church, we are rooted in communion with Christ and one another and are sent to draw others into deeper belonging, worship, and hope.

We are Bold for the Gospel

Compelled by the love of Christ, we step boldly into the darkness as a light that points outward, invites others home, and witnesses to the joy of the Gospel.

We foster One Spiritual Family

As one body in Christ, we share one heart and mind to support each other in every joy and struggle, serving as a living witness of God's love to the world.
