What is Loop Ministry? | Upcoming Events | Meet Our Staff | Prayer, Worship & Religious Celebrations Community Service | Pastoral Care | Loop-Based Schools

University Ministry provides what we call “Pastoral Care” in the Loop.  Pastoral Care involves working with a Chaplain around issues such as one’s spiritual life, relationships, stress, grief, ethical dilemmas, prayer requests and many other concerns that arise in one’s life.

Chaplain Katie Brick serves students from Commerce, Kellstadt, and SNL. Tom Judge serves the Law School and CTI.  Please contact them around the following areas: 

Spiritual Accompaniment:
One-on-one dialogue with a Chaplain about your journey of faith as you explore and deepen your relationship with God or discuss issues that deeply impact your life and spirituality.  Schedule an appointment or just swing by their offices on the 11th floor of the DePaul Center.

Prayer Service/Memorials:
We encourage people from Loop schools to contact their Chaplain,
Katie or Tom, to help coordinate prayer or memorial services that provide the opportunity to gather together as a community, large, or small, to offer an appropriate celebration that responds to a specific loss or issue.

Death:
When a death occurs within the DePaul Loop Schools, the appropriate Loop Chaplain should be kept informed. They can help gather necessary information regarding services while being attentive to the needs of family and friends.

Hospital Visits:

Chaplains are happy to provide pastoral care services during times of hospitalization of a student, staff person or faculty member. When appropriate, a Chaplain will visit in the hospital, provide prayers and/or send a card to the affected parties.

Prayer Requests:
Specific prayer requests may be submitted to a Chaplain by any member of our DePaul Loop Community.

Spiritual Direction Referrals:
Looking for a spiritual mentor to connect with? Searching for a deeper connection to your faith? Want to talk with a trained minister, lay or ordained? University Ministry Chaplains can refer you to a trained Spiritual Director to discuss your faith in a comfortable and inviting setting.
