Inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Hall Ministry program is grounded in the belief that faith and spirituality are integral to student development during their time at Marquette University. The goal of the Hall Ministry program is to provide pastoral care and presence to the Residence Hall Director, Assistant Hall Director, Resident Assistants, and the residents of a given community in both everyday life and extraordinary circumstances. Pastoral care means being attentive and helpful to people dealing with stress, illness, loss, loneliness, relationships, spiritual and emotional health, etc. Pastoral care also involves working to build a community which nourishes faith by helping people examine their images of God and church, their religious identity, prayer, and spiritual life. As faith leaders on campus, Hall Ministers are expected to foster ethical values and behaviors, exercising good judgment to model an appropriate lifestyle for residents and staff, expressive of and consistent with the university’s identity. In collaboration with hall staff, the Hall Minister is charged with helping form a residential community that expresses the University’s Catholic, Jesuit character, which includes welcoming students from diverse faith traditions.

Hall Ministers are required to serve an average of 10 hours per week and are required to live in the residence hall during the academic year (Aug through May). Hall Ministers are compensated through a furnished apartment year-round and a university meal plan during the academic year.
