Preach the Gospel
at all times;
if necessary,
use words.

The Lord bless you
and keep you.
The Lord make His face

and be gracious to you.
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.

Traditional Franciscan Blessing
Youth Ministry

The Campus Ministry program seeks to encourage students to explore, deepen, and nourish their faith. In doing so, it is hoped that their relationships with God and others will be strengthened and that they will further develop their knowledge of Catholic practices. Furthermore, in the Franciscan tradition, it is expected that students will continue to develop a sense of reverence for and hospitality toward all creation.
Grade 10 Theology

The Christian Testament theology course fosters a love for the New Testament through an in depth study of the Evangelists' portraits of the life of Jesus.  An overview of the other New Testament books, especially the letters of Saint Paul, is also included.  Students are encouraged to implement Jesus' example in their daily lives.

Introduction to Psychology

The Introduction to Psychology course serves as a general introduction to the field of psychology, the science of behavior and mental processes.  Students will explore the history of psychology and its dominant domains including the experimental, developmental, biological, cognitive, clinical, and behavioral domains.  It is hoped that students will gain an understanding of psychology as a science and a deeper understanding of themselves and others through their studies in this course.

Coordinators

Each year ten-fifteen junior and senior students serve as Campus Ministry Coordinators for particular areas of Campus Ministry (retreats, lectors, etc.).  All Coordinators are required to meet with the Director approximately once every two weeks to perform various tasks: brainstorm for upcoming events, debrief about recent events, prepare materials for a retreat or liturgy, explore faith and/or leadership skills, and so on.  Furthermore, Coordinators are sometimes responsible for leading some aspects of meetings with other students.  For example, retreat Coordinators may be required to lead opening prayer at retreat team meetings.
