Hi everyone! I'm Peggy Li and I'm a second year Masters student studying Industrial Engineering. I'm originally from Hong Kong, but I've lived in Toronto with my family for most of my life. I love to read, cook, swim, play ultimate frisbee and get into long chats with friends over coffee! I also love to travel (I was in Peru this summer and Thailand last summer) to meet and learn from people of different cultures; my hope is to intern abroad after graduation doing development work. I've been coming to Newman for the last two years and I'm really excited about being a student campus minister this year at this wonderful community. I think it'll be an amazing experience and I'll work to give my all this year. I'll be this year's student campus minister representative for Pastoral Advisory Council and I hope to get more involved with the Lay Pastoral Visitor to Sick outreach ministry. I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know many more of you – so please feel free to come and chat! |

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.
