The Catholic Campus Ministry @ Richmond team

We are part of the University Chaplaincy and enjoy strong relationships with other faith groups on campus. The student leadership team helps to shape the Catholic community and is engaged with all aspects of the parish, including music, liturgy, service, devotions and fellowship.

The Rev. Mr. Thomas M. Mullen - or Deacon Tom as he is most commonly known - is the Catholic Chaplain for the University. Deacon Mullen works with students, staff, faculty, and community members to ensure vibrant Catholic life at Richmond through liturgy, service, devotions, education, and social outreach. He is committed to ecumenical and multifaith efforts with other campus religious traditions.

In addition to his position in the Chaplaincy, Deacon Mullen is the Director of Public Affairs Journalism at the University and also serves as a President's College Fellow, first-year Roadmap advisor and First-Year Seminar professor. He is also a faculty advisor for Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity and faculty sponsor for the University's Quidditch team. He received the University's Distinguished Educator Award in 2021.

Catholic Campus Ministry is always eager to have students join in serving or singing at Mass. Our lectors are coordinated by Zach Duray (zach.duray@richmond.edu), and our music director is Benjamin Stalder (benjamin.stalder@richmond.edu). Sarah Ebinger (sarah.ebinger@richmond.edu) is our Outreach Coordinator. Please email them for information about their ministries. Always feel free to email Deacon Tom (tmullen@richmond.edu) or any member of the leadership team.
