Faith Formation

As a student at the University of the Incarnate Word, you are all already a part of Mission and Ministry. You are part of a legacy that began in 1881 when the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word began the ministries in education. Today, we invite you to participate in continuing or even discovering your faith journey through the many opportunities in Mission and Ministry - Ecumenical and Interfaith Dialogue, Faith Formation Ministries, Media Ministry, Music Ministry, Prayer and Worship, Social Justice and Community Service, and Religious Student Organizations.

Spring 2022 Confirmation and First Holy Communion Candidates

This year, three students and one UIW staff member prepared to receive their sacraments of Confirmation and first Holy Communion this year. On March 6, 2022, Julian Garcia participated in the Intercollegiate Confirmation Mass at St. Mary's University where he received his Confirmation. On May 1, 2022, we celebrated the reception of sacraments at the 11 a.m. Sunday Mass for Benjamin Tullo (a senior business administration student as he received his Confirmation and first Holy Communion), Steven Puente (Assistant Director of Freshman Admissions, received his Confirmation and first Holy Communion) and Siham Hawit (an international student from Honduras, studying electrical engineering, received her Confirmation and first Holy Communion). Please join us in congratulating them and praying for them as they continue their faith journey.

We will open registration for sacramental preparation for the 2022-2023 academic year mid-August 2022. For more information, contact Beth Villarreal, Director of Campus Ministry villaret@uiwtx.edu.
