Campus Ministry

Each year, the Freshman class visits the Villa to participate in Freshman Heritage Day. Students spend this retreat day participating in a series of activities and reflections that acquaint them with the history and heritage of Magnificat, while also building community and friendship among classmates. A highlight included listening to Humility of Mary Sisters share about their lives and ministries. First semester included many such opportunities for students to grow in their faith, including all-school prayer services and Masses, welcoming a group of Sisters to campus, weekly service programs in the community, and our annual Humble Hands Advent Project.
