Hector Acero		My name is Peter Achim (pronunciation: A-CH (a little bit like the J in the Spanish name “Jose”)- EE-M) Wagner. I am from Bonn, Germany, and I have come to Toronto to do my PhD in economics. I am very glad that I have the opportunity to be a member of the campus ministry team, and I am looking forward to serving the Newman community this year. I hope that I will be able to continue the great work of the previous campus ministers and contribute to the amazing spirit at Newman, that had a great impact on me from the very first time. I still remember when I came to mass in the chapel at the Newman Centre for the first time for Thanksgiving in 2005. By mere coincidence I decided to go there, because I saw the chapel on a walk across the university campus. I remember that there was a baptism during mass and that I felt deeply moved by this spirit of community and the joy of the people celebrating this event. I am looking forward to being a part of this great community as a campus minister, and I am exited to meet all of you in the community. I will be working for the Newman Youth Council this and I will also assist in the Advent Listening program which will start in December.

Student Campus Ministers are an integral component of the Newman Centre's Campus Ministry Initiative. Under the supervision of the Chaplaincy Coordinator and Executive Director, Student Campus Ministers are first and foremost part of the Newman Centre Residential Community. This Community is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, striving to hear and live the Word of God in the Tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. Thus, Student Campus Ministers are bearers of and witnesses to Christ. Our deepest unity and meaning is found in the celebration of the Eucharist, a celebration that does not end with the Mass, but is instead the focal point that invigorates all our activities.

Each member of the Campus Ministry Team plays an important role in the overall campus outreach of the Newman Centre, bringing his or her own unique personality, talents and skills to the community-at-large. This experience also provides the opportunity for a significant deepening and sharing of personal faith (peer ministry), helping others to grow in the process.

Some of the Newman Centre's programs and activities require a team effort and presence in which the Student Campus Ministers act as a group. During these events, together we provide an environment in which University students and parishioners can come to a deeper involvement and understanding of faith and God, community and friendship, social justice and compassion for others.
