Hi Newman! I'm Peter Bagnall and I had such a blast my first year on the student campus ministry team that I decided to return for a second round while finishing my Masters in Divinity at St. Mikes. I moved to Toronto from Prince George, BC, two years ago and was immediately drawn to the Newman community which really uplifted me in my personal faith journey. I love young people and have been involved in parish and summer camp youth ministry for the past 8 years. I also enjoy music, photography (you'll probably see me snapping photos at most Newman events), sports (especially squash and volleyball) and I love the outdoors - climbing, hiking, mountaineering, and camping in particular. This year, I am looking forward to getting more involved in the youth council and the mentoring program as well as the liturgical life of the parish. I'm very excited about the coming year, getting to know everybody better and sharing another awesome year with the Newman community! |

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.
