Marquette is having a procession too!Marquette University - Campus Ministry - Pastoral Care
Not like this one though...
Day of Silence taking place tomorrow
Participants in The Day of Silence, tomorrow, April 15, take some form of a vow of silence to bring attention to the name-calling, bullying and harassment — “the silencing” — experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered or questioning individuals.
Participation, in support of building a campus environment and university community that cherishes the human dignity of each person and taking an active role in reflecting university values, can take place in a number of ways:
• Vow to be silent, for even part of the day, and wear a sticker that explains your silence to others. Stickers will be available at residence hall and apartment desks all day today, April 14, and tomorrow, April 15; in the AMU second floor lobby tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and outside Raynor Library from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow.
• Sign the Day of Silence Sign in the AMU second floor lobby from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow.
• Join a silent procession at 4 p.m. from the St. Joan of Arc Chapel to the AMU Brew Bayou for a ceremony to “break the silence.”
• Support those who participate.
The event is sponsored by Campus Ministry, the Center for Health Education and Promotion, the Counseling Center, the Division of Student Affairs, the Gender Sexuality Alliance, Multicultural Affairs, the Office of Residence Life, and the Office of Student Development.
For more information, contact Steve Blaha, assistant director of campus ministry, at 8-6873.
Is there any "Catholic" college that is worse off than Marquette?

Campus Ministry is supporting this? Is Archbishop Listecki aware of what's happening?
Why did St. Joan of Arc have to be brought into this?
At many Catholic Colleges the "Campus Ministry" is usually a threat to the faith of the students. (The Catholic outreach to students at public colleges, like St. Paul's by UW-Madison on the other hand is rock-solid.)
The Pope really hit the nail on the head when he lamented the "professional Catholics," who make a good living off the the Church but are in the business of apathy at best and de-vangelization at worse.
Meanwhile bright, young, orthodox theology students with BA and MAs eager to have even low-paying-jobs which can serve the Church as a labor of love have a hard time finding jobs.
