Celebrations as Students Graduate!

A primary goal of this ministry is to assist students with the tools and support to graduate from SJSU.  Here is a picture of a celebratory dinner with a host family as one of our students graduates and goes out on her own!

Laundry Ministry

Affectionately called “Sacred Suds“, the campus chaplain engages students each Sunday afternoon at the Quick Wash on San Carlos Street offering to pay for laundry with no strings attached.  The most significant part of the exchange happens when the chaplain offers a pin with the hashtag #IBIY – I Believe in You.  Students receive the little pin often with emotion indicating how much these young people need to hear those words.  It is actually sacramental and heart to heart.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday will be different for us at Campus Ministry this year. We normally impose ashes on between 500 -600 people at Spartan Memorial Chapel. After a prayerful discussion with the Rev. Jon Perez at CSUM, we have agreed that the virus reminds us daily of our mortality. This year, because we cannot impose ashes, we will be offering a gathering of forgiveness of self and others to promote reconciliation in a divided country and world. No matter how dark the outlook, we believe that Christ still rises in many hearts. We want to celebrate going from death to new life!
