Hi everyone, Preetam here. I am in my fourth year of Electrical Engineering at the University of Toronto. Originally from New Delhi (India), I've been a Torontonian for the past six years. My first stint as a Student Campus Minister at the Newman Centre has been unbelievable. I am fairly new to the Newman community and am excited to meet a lot of new faces. For the next eight months, I will be spending time with the bulletin and website ministries. I am a huge sports fan (tennis, baseball, beach volleyball and basketball-GO Toronto Raptors). I also enjoy playing my guitar, reading, hip-hop dancing, poetry and making delicate pastries that just melt in your mouth. Can't wait to meet you all! Ciao for now.

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.
