Religious Affairs

Under the direction of the Division of Student Affairs, the staff of the Penn State Altoona Campus Ministry welcomes you to the College.  Our goals are to help nurture spiritual values, to encourage students to maintain and develop their faith, to provide an open setting for discussion of religious, moral and social problems, and to cooperate with other campus groups in providing for a holistic approach to personal and community growth.

The Catholic Campus Coordinator is Mary Claire Curtis and the Catholic Chaplain is Rev. Chinemere (Father Ralph) Onyeocha.

The Protestant Chaplain is Rev. Henry Hansard. 

International Worship services are provided by Rev. Dr. Mlen-Too Wesley.

Bill Wallen of the Greater Altoona Jewish Federation will provide services for our Jewish students. 

The Altoona Collegiate Outreach representatives are Dave McBride, Curt Wright, and Rachel Foose.
