Canadian Catholic Campus Ministry (CCCM) is a national network

of professional Catholic campus ministers, grounded in the tradi-

tion 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 Coordina-

tor 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 Catho-

lic 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 Interna-

tional Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS). CCCM is recognized as a private lay associa-

tion of the faithful by the CCCB (2011).

Congratulations Lori!

Catholic Students Week 2012! This past February, Catholic university students from across Canada participated in

the national Catholic Students’ Week, from February 4th-12

th. Catechesis, liturgy and

mission were explored through events which included Theology on Tap, presentations by

bishops and chaplains, praise and worship, social justice workshops, 100-mile meals,

Taizé prayer services, and Eucharistic celebrations. More than 200 events were planned

on 35 campuses, including campus collaborative events with groups such as Knights of

Columbus, Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, religious com-

munities, Catholic Christian Outreach, Catholic Women’s Leagues, L’Arche, and local

parishes and diocesan offices.

Catholic Students’ Week is organized annually by the Canadian Catholic Students’ Asso-

ciation (CCSA) and the Canadian Catholic Campus Ministry (CCCM), sister organizations

initially founded as the Canadian Newman Movement in 1946.

Madeline Montoya, a member of the Ryerson Catholic Student Association (CSA), relates,

“Catholic Students’ Week makes me feel strengthened in my faith. As I help other CSA

members set up and promote these events, I feel like the light of the Holy Spirit is work-

ing with us, wanting to light other lamps as well.”

One of the great chal-

lenges of any univer-

sity community is

bringing about unity

from the rich diver-

sity that exists within

and around campus.

Today’s campus is a

rich mixture of ages,

cultures, socio-

economic back-

grounds, perspectives, approaches and

theologies. Even within a particular relig-

ion, different theologies and approaches

can prove challenging for ministers and

ministries existing on campuses. How-

ever, diversity should not be an obstacle

for the Catholic Church, for it has long

held together under the tenets of the

Gospel, its Tradition, and the many

charisms which belong to the people of

God.

In this spirit, CCCM brought together, for

a second time in 2012, representatives

of some of the many ministries, move-

ments and organizations that exist on

Canadian university/college campuses.

Using the model for Comprehensive

Campus Ministry, participants in the

roundtable discussion were able to iden-

tify the strengths of the many organiza-

tions and better understand the comple-

mentary nature of the diversity of Catho-

lic campus ministries represented by the

organizations present.

2011 NATIONAL CONFEERENCE 25th - 29th, 2011, Halifax

The Journey of Discipleship:

Many Paths, One Mission

May 24/25-29th

2012 Quebec Francophone Initiative

Hosted by: St. Mary’s

& Dalhousie University

From May 18th to 25th, the National Coordinator made a trip through Quebec visiting the

Campus Ministers at: Montreal Newman Center, Concordia University, Université du Qué-

bec à Montréal, Université Trois-Rivières and Université Laval. The purpose of the visit was

to become more familiar with the campus ministry situation in Québec and try to nurture

greater bonds of collaboration between CCCM and our francophone partners in Québec.

Throughout most of the trip, the National Coordinator was extremely lucky to have had the

hospitality and guidance of Ptre. Georges Croteau, s.g. As a result of this trip, the National

Coordinator, in partnership with Ptre. Georges, are planning to organize a day encounter at

Trois-Rivières amongst the francophone campus ministers in early October. This will pro-

vide francophone campus ministers the opportunity to build relationships amongst them-

selves and discuss the situation of campus ministry within the social and cultural context of

Québec. More information will soon follow, stay tuned!

Montée Jeunesse Montréal - 2012 From May 18th - 21st, 2012, the Montée Jeunesse Youth Summit took place in Montréal,

Québec. On Saturday evening about 400 young people, accompanied by Archbishop Lépine

of Montréal, Auxiliary Bishop Dowd of Montréal, Archbishop Lacroix of Québec City, and

Archbishop Prendergrast of Ottawa, took part in a Eucharistic procession which started at

St. Joseph’s Oratory and cut right through the heart of downtown Montréal arriving at the

Cathedral, Mary Queen of the World. McGill Newman Center students, accompanied by

their campus minister Terrel Joseph, played important roles in the conference by animating

prayer services and providing supporting services at the various events.

CCCM’s Halifax 2011 was a time of moving forward with professional

recognitions, integrating new campus ministers, and “the journey of the

disciple: many paths, one mission.” Showers from the Halifax sky wel-

comed all the CCCM conference attendees, but serene sunny rays sent

forth all the participants back to their campuses with new horizons of

being.

Moments of personal and team enrichment multiplied during the conference. We mean-

dered through instances of renewal. Talk sessions, group discussions, prayer awakenings,

report assessments, field trips, and meals together all brought us to seal our goals, pur-

poses, and meanings of who we were as we offered pastoral presence in Canada from

coast to coast . Whether in one mission or in diverse paths, Halifax 2011 directed our at-

tention to how we, as CCCM members, work towards uplifting and sustaining life on our

campuses across Canada.

Communications Committee

Global Connections

At the CCCM Annual Conference 2011 in Halifax, the membership requested a renewed energy be put

towards our communication strategies. Through the use of Survey Monkey, membership strongly em-

phasized updating our website.

In April the committee selected Madfatter Inc to revamp our web presence. We will present design tem-

plates to our membership at our AGM at Yale in June 2012. Madfatter Inc is committed to completing

this project by September 2012.

CCCM members, partners and collaborators are invited and encouraged to send pictures, event informa-

tion and other resources to the National Coordinator for the CCCM webpage at [email protected].

CCSA has chosen to use other forms of social media for their communication. Links will be provided on

the web page for the CCSA student blog which has been very active.

Committee Members: Sr. Sue Kidd, CND, Fr Paul Anyidoho (Concordia University), Kyle Ferguson

(National Coordinator), Sr. Sue Kidd, CND (UPEI) as chair, Janet Loo (Kings University College), Michael

MacLean (St Thomas More College).

The Global Connections committee remains an active group within CCCM. Every month,

the group speaks by telephone to share ideas on social justice initiatives across cam-

puses. Once again, the committee promoted awareness of social justice issues

throughout Catholic Student Week , and organized the annual service trip to Cuer-

navaca, Mexico, where students learn about the social, economic, and cultural currents

affecting Latin America. Sr. Elaine Baete, from St. Paul’s College, Manitoba, accompa-

nied two students: Manila Tanafranca from St. Mary’s University and Claudia Muller

Moran from St. Paul’s. The committee is currently writing grant applications to help

defray students costs for next year.

The work of the professional standards committee is continuing by engag-

ing new campus ministers joining CCCM and holding frequent conference

calls with our committee members. A new objective for our committee this

year is to reach out to an outside organization to provide a second look at

the applications we are accrediting. This recommendation was received by

the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities of Canada (ACCUC) in

April 2012, so to ensure the integrity and transparency of our accreditation

process. Our committee was happy to receive this recommendation from

the ACCUC and is moving forwards with its implementation.
