ABOUT US

MISSION

Catholic Campus Ministry at SMU is a home for forming Servant Leaders through an intentional and personal relationship with Jesus Christ through His Church.

VISION STATEMENT

Know. Love. Serve.

An On-Campus Ministry…for over 90 years

Since 1932, Catholic Campus Ministry at SMU has offered Holy Mass, faith formation, and Christian community to countless students, faculty, staff, alumni at SMU. As a ministry of the Diocese of Dallas, CCM-SMU serves the largest religious denomination of students on campus. We are privileged to support students’ prayer, intellectual formation, and Christian community through the unique gift of the Neuhoff Catholic Student Center, located near SMU’s campus at the corner of University Boulevard and Airline Drive. In July 2024, Fr. Kevin Kolker became the Chaplain/Director of the ministry.
