Lourdes Campus Ministry serves the entire University community by calling forth each person’s gifts and talents, regardless of faith tradition. Our Catholic and Sylvania Franciscan traditions and the values of our students, faculty, staff, and administration are at the heart of all we do. 

The interaction of our diverse faith traditions enriches campus life. We aim to help create a community whose faith is alive, informed, and active.

Discover the Franciscan Factor in our Viewbook.

In the spirit of our patron, Francis of Assisi, you will find the Lourdes community in the busyness of everyday life, looking for ways to celebrate and share God’s blessings. It’s our Franciscan Factor.
