Our Vision

Mary Help of Christians' Campus Ministry exists as a movement that BUILDS a CULTURE of FAITH, FAMILY, FRIENDSHIP, and FORMATION.

It becomes a center for sisterhood rooted in FAITH in light of the Gospel, FAMILY where all feel welcomed, safe, and at home, FRIENDSHIP that strives for joyful holiness in order to become saints, and FORMATION that allows each young woman to become the best version of herself according to the life giving spirit of St. John Bosco and St. Mary Mazzarello.

Our Mission

We train and mentor MHCA students into skilled, virtuous, faith-filled servant leaders in order to foster the Salesian identity on MHCA’s Campus so they can build and nurture MHCA’s sisterhood on campus and in their future communities.
