Hector Acero

Greetings! My name is Elisabeth Duggan and I am entering the Bachelor of Education Program at the University of Toronto. For the past three years I have been attending the Newman Community, while doing my Master of Divinity Degree at Regis College. It was the Newman Community that allowed my theological studies to flourish and to continue to grow in faith. This faith community became something I wanted to become more a part of and learn more from as I grow to be a teacher. As for a bit about myself, I am an outgoing individual currently engaged. I enjoy watching movies, listening to music, going to the gym or playing sports, playing the piano, and doing a sudoku puzzle. Beyond my interests I also enjoy sitting with a group of people and listen to a wonderful discussion unfold. I am very excited about this coming year and learning a great deal from the Newman community. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you!

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.
