Campus Ministry

Mission Statement :

The Diocese has supported campus ministry for half a century and for this is respected by our National Church.

We support ministries on three campuses: Dal/Kings, Acadia, & St. Francis Xavier University,  Dal/Kings is full time chaplaincy, and Acadia, & St. Francis Xavier are parish based ministries.

Campus ministry is about worship, pastoral counselling and programming. A special emphasis is put on social justice and ethics. If you wish more information or a personal contact with a campus minister, please use the following link below (Campus Ministers).
