Fr. James Gallagher will be returning to UP July 1 as the new director of Campus Ministry. Gallagher will replace Fr. Mark DeMott, who served as interim director of Campus Ministry this past year, and is leaving to begin his doctoral studies.
Gallagher comes to UP from the University of Notre Dame, where he’s served since 2008 as the priest-in-residence in Zahm Hall. Prior to working at Notre Dame, Gallagher served for two years at UP working with retreats and liturgy in Campus Ministry, and as residence hall director of Shipstad Hall.
Fr. Gallagher has also held various administrative positions at Notre Dame, such as the director of the Holy Cross Office of Vocations since 2009, after beginning his work there in 2008. During this time, he developed retreats on discernment, expanded the use of social media to increase awareness of Holy Cross and coordinated vocation promotion efforts on Holy Cross campuses throughout the United States.
