Campus Ministry is dedicated to educating and challenging the Canisius community on a variety of justice issues. We offer a variety of ways to become engaged in the pursuit of justice: social justice movie nights, justice newsletter, Ignatian Family Teach-ins, the annual Sleep-out in the Quad, For Your Consideration weekly emails, tabling on various peace and justice issues, and various speakers and trips. Campus Ministry will be focusing on issues surrounding immigration reform for the 2008-2009 school year.
Megan Brenner (brennerm@canisius.edu) and Josie Diebold (dieboldj@canisius.edu) are the 2008-2009 justice interns. Justice interns are responsible for on-campus programming and education. The interns publish a monthly social justice newletter that provides information, reflections, and resources.

Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice/School of the Americas Protest
Each year students from Jesuit schools all over the country gather at Fort Benning, Georgia to remember the 1989 Salvadoran Jesuit martyrs and to participate in a Teach-In on this and other related justice issues. Canisius will be bringing 13 staff and students to the teach-in and protest on November 21-23, 2008.
