Ryan Alemao		Hello everybody! My name is Ryan Alemão and I'm glad that I can serve the Newman community for another year as a Campus Minister. I am in my final year (praise God!) of my undergraduate degree, studying Molecular Plant Biology and Spanish. Of course, the next big question is where to go from there; I hope to discern my future path over this upcoming year, although academic research seems to beckon me. Over the summer I travelled to India and Mexico; even though I enjoyed myself on these trips, I missed Newman and can now say that there literally isn't a parish community in the world like it!! This year, I will be the Student Campus Ministry representative on the Pastoral Advisory Council and to the Centre's staff. My interests include reading, sleeping, eating, travelling, playing pranks & any sports I can learn. I'm excited to be back at Newman and look forward to meeting all of you in the community (especially those I haven't already met) - 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.
