Members of the Core Team on their Winter Retreat in January

The Core Team. Do they play a sport? Are they the core of the school? Well, I guess you could say they were. Here at Assumption College the Campus Ministry Core Team has been established to serve the community in every different area of what Campus Ministry offers to the school. The Core Team functions as the heart of Campus Ministry, but on a larger scale, the heart of the school.

"The Core Team allows students involved with Campus Ministry to take a higher role in helping to decide what goes on through the Campus Ministry program here at Assumption," said Ranft. "The students who make up the Core Team are involved with many different aspects of their faith and combined they make it to be a fun atmosphere to help Assumption maintain their school motto 'until Christ be formed in you'"

She also seeks to advertise the 7 and 10 pm masses, where she also makes announcements. Burns has also helped to put together the After Mass Social taking place once a month, that is a gathering held following the 7 p.m. mass in a Emmanuel House for fun, food, and socializing.
