Veritas University, Abuja

 The Chaplaincy in every catholic institution serves as a veritable instrument for the
actualization of the set objectives and mission of the institution. Veritas University
Chaplaincy has as its primary objective to engage and support members of veritas
university family-staff, students and the host communities in their spiritual, moral
and socio-cultural development. This is in consonance with the call by
Pope John Paul II on the entire Church to show interest in Catholic
Universities as they are "essential to her growth and to the development of
Christian culture and human progress" (Ex Corde Ecclesiae, no.11) The office
of the Chaplain is responsible for articulating a vision as well as acquiring and
developing the necessary resources for implementing this  vision.
 
 
 
The responsibilities include:
   1.   Convening the community for prayer and worship
   2.   Providing a pastoral presence n campus
   3.   Facilitating social justice, community service and outreach activities
   4.   Offering catechetical instructions for faith building
   5.   Providing pastoral counseling, spiritual direction and retreat oppurtunities.
These are embedded in our monthly and weekly chaplaincy activities.
