So, what does a campus ministry team do during a pandemic?
They relied not only on live-streaming Mass and texting through group apps, but even took advantage of “older technology — the phone. The team called more than 400 students on a regular basis, using a guide called “How to Minister Over the Phone” they developed during the pandemic.
The team also launched a new website: sanromerocenter.org.
The work of UTEP’s San Romero University Ministry Center was featured in a recent book, Catholic Campus Ministry: Fifteen Profiles in Achievement.
