Father Al Dash is pretty familiar with Campus Ministry. After being first ordained in 1967 he made his start as Campus Minister at NCSU only 7 years later. In 1986 He left NC State to come start Campus Ministry at UNCW. In 1994 he left Wilmington and returned to NCSU as a Campus Minister there. In 2003 he retired to the beach but continues to serve as Sacramental Minister here at UNCW.

Al is involved with Greyhound rescue and currently owns 2 greyhounds (well depending on how you look at it they might own him) named Captain and Willow. His other hobbies include gardening and being a beach bum.

Sister Rosemary McNamara, SU has just completed her first year as Director of the UNCW Catholic Student Center. Sister Rose is a native New Yorker but is no stranger to Wilmington. The Sisters of St. Ursula have served in St Mary Parish in downtown Wilmington since 1984. Sr. Rose served as the Director of St. Mary Office of Social Ministry from 1991 to 1998. During that time she served on several Ecumenical and Civic Boards and Task Forces including the Good Shepherd, Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, St. Mary Housing Corporation, Tileston Clinic, The North Side Clinic, the City of Wilmington, New Hanover County Health Dept, UNCW School of Nursing, United Way and FEMA.

Sister Rose is a licensed Mathematics teacher and most recently completed a Master of Divinity at the Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Ma. She enjoys travel, reading, music, and body surfing. Rumor has it that she participated in the Newport Polar Bear Plung while living in New England.
Part of the Center's transformation this year included: rebuilding the deck on the back of the house reclaiming the front yard, painting the exterior of the house and the painting the front and side doors EXTREME TEAL. Next year's project is to convert the garage into a chapel.

Sr. Rose hopes that the Catholic Student Center continues to grow as a comfortable welcoming place for students to meet, relax, pray, converse and reflect on how they can best integrate their faith with their professional and academic formation. Our inward journey necessarily expresses itself in outward action. Our challenge is to consider how we are known on campus? How do we express love of God and love of neighbor here at UNCW? How do we make a return for all the God has given us?
