While maintaining a Catholic identity, Campus Ministry embraces the mission of Thomas More, which is as follows:


Thomas More University is the Catholic Liberal Arts University of the Diocese of Covington, Kentucky.  Inspired by the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, we challenge students of all faiths to examine the ultimate meaning of life, their place in the world, and their responsibility to others.
