Ahoj! Greetings Newman Centre! My name is Emanuella Enenajor. I am so happy to be a part of the Campus Ministry team this year. Last year I completed an Hon B.Sc. in Statistics (minored in Economics and Japanese) and this year I am beginning the Master of Financial Economics program. I was born in Bratislava, Slovakia, and during my childhood I lived in both Nigeria and Slovakia (where my father and mother hail from, respectively). At the age of 9 my family came to Toronto; and we are proud to call this beautiful city home. My interests are diverse; I love to travel (in 3rd year I went on exchange to Tokyo, Japan), but I also love to spend time with family and friends in Toronto. I have been a member of the Newman community for the past year; and I cannot express what an amazing place of spiritual renewal the Newman Centre has been in my daily life; especially during hectic periods of my academic life. I look forward to making new friends this upcoming year, and to contributing my talents to our community. Don’t be a stranger! |

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.
