Engaging University life through prayer, liturgy, outreach, faith development and pastoral care.
The Purpose of the University Mission and Ministry is to make visible and tangible the Incarnate Word of God in the University.
Attending Mass outdoors at the Lourdes Grotto on campus has been very special to me. I would often visit the Grotto to say a prayer or sit in peace and nature, looking up at Our Lady of Lourdes on the structure. It has been a place of reflection for me during stressful and joyful moments as a student.
Nestled within our Incarnate Word campus is the majestic clock tower that not only marks the passage of time but also resonates with the institution's profound Catholic heritage. As we walk through our campus, a familiar tune chimes each day, “The Hymn to the Incarnate Word.” This hymn tune was adapted from Hosanna #34.
"While a UIW student, I had the opportunity to attend monthly dinners with the Sisters, generations after this initial call. These were moments to share a meal while conversing with the Sisters about their lives and vocations."
UIW fosters a vibrant spiritual community by offering diverse worship opportunities. From daily reflections to festive campus-wide celebrations, students can connect with their faith through a variety of Catholic and ecumenical services held in Our Lady's Chapel and the Chapel of the Incarnate Word.
