Are you a collaborative person who wants to bring passion to supporting and engaging students in their faith? Are you inspired by the transformative capacity of Jesuit Catholic education? If so, we’d love you to apply! Brebeuf Jesuit is looking for a Campus Minister to join the team. At Brebeuf we strive to provide the best educational and spiritual experiences for students from a variety of religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.

A Campus Minister at Brebeuf Jesuit educates students in mind and spirit by incorporating the best traditions of Jesuit, Catholic education. Working closely with the Vice President for Mission and the Director of Campus Ministry, you will establish and nurture the faith life of the school community by coordinating the execution of regular school-wide Masses and prayer services and developing other student formation opportunities.

Overall Aim of Campus Ministry Department, shared by both Director of Campus ministry and Campus Minister: 

  • Give living witness to the Gospel and the Mission and Core Values of Brebeuf Jesuit, making the Gospel and our mission and values attractive to all in the Brebeuf Jesuit Community and to those whom our community encounters.
