Office of Campus Ministry Rev. Chris Luoni, Diocesan Director 1424 Horning Rd., Kent, OH 44240 Phone: 330-678-0240 Email: frchris@neo.rr.com Diocesan Campus Ministry carries out the mission of the Church at various Catholic and secular colleges and universities in our six-county diocese. The office serves students, faculty, administration and staff of these universities/colleges and their families, while extending beyond the limits of the campus to incorporate those who wish to share in this apostolate. Campus ministry serves these communities through providing opportunities for worship, service, spiritual formation and education. Currently this apostolate exists at Walsh University in Canton (the only Catholic university in the diocese), and through Campus Ministry Centers at Youngstown State University, Kent State University, Stark Technical College/Stark Branch of Kent State University, Hiram College, Mount Union College, and the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in Rootstown.
