Campus Ministry

Campus Ministry is the response of the Christian community to the needs of our young people. It is also the process of sharing unique gifts of youth with the larger community.

Campus Ministry works to foster the total, personal and spiritual growth of each young person and seeks to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic Church.

As the young church of today, the students of our high schools have the opportunity to grow in their relationship with God by involvement in programs sponsored by the Campus Ministry.

This is accomplished through various activities which are religious and social in nature. Campus Ministry coordinates the service component requirement of students.

Through Campus Ministry, the students have the occasion to fully live their Catholic faith with the support and assistance of others.
