A Brief History of the Campus Ministry
 The Campus Ministry Office of Holy Angel University existed since 1986. It was initiated by Sr. Josefina G. Nepomuceno, OSB, the former University President, and with the expertise of Sr. Andrea Collantes, OSB., the Values Education Consultant. There were twenty Campus Ministers distributed equally in the high school and college departments and two chaplains from the Society of the Divine Word. The program was in close coordination with the Guidance Office of the two departments where Campus Ministers share the same office with the guidance services. The College Campus Ministers handled Values Education subjects and the High School Campus Ministers handled Homeroom classes.
The University Pastoral Council was created in 1988. It was composed of representatives from the different departments. With its constitution and by-laws, the UPC was in-charge of planning and implementation of Campus Ministry activities. In the year 2000, the UPC was revived and renamed as the Campus Ministry Council. The reorganization was a move to make the ministry more campus based, focusing on the spiritual upliftment of students and employees.
With the presence of chaplains, the CMO is in close coordination with the Archdiocese of Pampanga. The following chaplains were assigned by the Archdiocese of San Fernando to shepherd HAU community:
Rev. Fr. Andronico Pahed, Jr. SPC
Rev. Fr. Joseph Mary Bacay

Its facilities are the University Chapel and the Prayer Room where the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for intimate and personal prayer of HAU personnel and services housed at the Mamerto G.
