254 Support ServicesGeneral Information for Mission and Ministry Graduate and Professional Programs Rooted in the spirit of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, Emmanuel College strives to create a welcoming community that embraces the Gospel ethic that inspires us to seek social justice and to live compassionately. Informed by the charism of the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, that education is God’s greatest work, Campus Ministry offers opportunities for students, faculty and staff to enrich their relationship with God, self and others through prayer groups, retreats, days apart, discussion groups, spiritual direction, pastoral counseling, education, the Catholic sacramental life, interdenominational dialogue and varied community service. Living compassionately reflects yet again another Notre Dame charism, that of embodying God’s goodness as the Emmanuel College community invests itself in a comprehensive volunteer service program both at home and abroad. Emmanuel College hosts the Catholic population of the member colleges of the collaboration of the Colleges of the Fenway, another vital component of the spiritual life of the College.
