An Active Campus Ministry is a Cherished Nanzan Tradition
Candle Service at Christmas
EAGER TO ATTEND to the spiritual needs of their students, the Divine Word Missionaries respond to every segment of the Nanzan community, whether it be Catholic or non-Catholic. Each school has its appointed Spiritual Director, and counseling services are always available. The Nanzan School Corporation Christian Education Committee, presided over by the Chancellor of Nanzan School Corporation, supervises and coordinates campus ministry activities as well as formal religious education at each school. On the University campus, many Divine Word Missionaries teach courses in religion and “Human Dignity” and three of them have
been designated chaplains. The Catholic liturgy is celebrated on campus weekly. Ecumenical activities, embraced by students of all faiths, also take place during the school year. Similar services are provided at each of the Nanzan Schools. As a means to foster religious life, the Nanzan Christian Education Center Steering Committee, consisting of representatives of Divine Word Missionaries as well as religion teachers at each of the Nanzan Schools, meets regularly to arrange religious activities. The Center, supported by Divine Word Missionaries, Holy Spirit Sisters, Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, and lay teachers, coordinates activities and plans outreach programs.
