Spiritual Life

A student life with the opportunity for God involved in every step.

Catholic. Conservative. Competitive.

but CATHOLIC first

Continually ranked America’s “Most Devout Law School” by preLaw Magazine, Ave Maria School of Law is a Catholic law school welcoming all faiths on campus. Though the majority of students are Catholic, many religious backgrounds are represented within the school student body, faculty, staff, and alumni. The presence of faith in and out of the classroom adds a profound sense of community.

Ave Maria Law offers many opportunities for spiritual growth and guidance on campus. Mass is offered each day on campus in the St. Thérèse of the Little Flower Chapel. Confession is offered at select times.

Faith-Based Student Organizations

Lex Vitae Society: The Lex Vitae Society is founded upon the undeniable truth that all human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, is sacred and has inherent dignity. This dignity is to be preserved and sustained through the promotion and defense of the culture of life.

Legion of Mary: The Legion of Mary is a lay apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the Church and under the powerful leadership of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of All Graces, serve the Church and their neighbor on a voluntary basis.

St. Thomas More Society: The mission of the St. Thomas More Society is to encourage a prayer life, cultivate a Catholic community, and promote professional goals informed by magisterial teaching. The Society gives members the opportunity to deepen their relationship with God and others.

Knights of Columbus: Becoming a Knight means a life of faith in action, a life of boldness in brotherhood, a life worth living. Together, we’re empowering Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work, and in their community. The Ave Maria School of Law has formed Council Number 14848.

PRO-LIFE

A group of Ave Maria Law students, faculty, staff, and alumni travel to Washington, D.C. for the annual March for Life in January. This has been a tradition of Ave Maria Law since the school opened in 2000. Additionally, a local March for Life event and campus walk is held every year.
