Angela De Ciantis is originally from Toronto, Canada and is excited to be serving young adults at the University of Notre Dame as a Rector. Angela completed an Honors Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at York University in Toronto. Afterwards, she completed a Master of Arts in Child Study and Education from the University of Toronto. In gratitude for the formation she received as a student from the Catholic Chaplaincies at both universities, Angela went on to serve as a Campus Minister at York University for four years where she could professionally engage her passion for the holistic formation of young adults. In 2020, Angela moved to New Jersey where she worked in parish ministry, serving in the areas of children’s faith formation, youth ministry and young adult ministry, while simultaneously pursuing her Master of Arts in Theology through the Echo program at Notre Dame.

Angela enjoys traveling to new places, drawing and painting, watching live theatre, sharing meals with good company and karaoke nights.
“I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve as a Rector at Notre Dame and to meet a diversity of people in this ministry. I consider it a great privilege to work alongside a wonderful team of professionals to advance Notre Dame’s mission of educating the minds and hearts of students. It is a true joy to journey with students during such formative years of their lives and to support them in their personal growth toward authenticity and integrity.”
