    • Retreats | We offer a variety of great retreats throughout the year including our annual Fall Retreat, Encounter with Christ Retreats, and the VA CCM Summit.
  • Service & Social Justice
    • Local Service & Service Trips | Throughout the year, CCM engages in various activities to give back to the Norfolk community.  Our Alternative Spring Break trip offers a week of relational ministry, physical labor, and prayer and reflection among the group .
    • Pro-Life Ministry | Catholic Campus Ministry works to educate and energize students on issues regarding life.  We participate in the National March for Life and the Virginia March for Life.
  • Small Groups
    • Every week, students gather together on campus to pray, read Scripture, and grow in friendship.
  • Social
    • From holiday-themed parties, to movie nights at the CCM House, to football tailgates, to men’s and ladies’ nights there are plenty of opportunities to get plugged into our ministry, meet other Catholics, and form life-long friendships.
