Campus Ministry

CAMPUS MINISTRY

The Senior Ministry Team (SMT) serves its peers, the community and the Church. SMT members share their faith and challenge other students to grow in their faith as well.

Here at Central Catholic there are many opportunities to support the school, especially when you are involved with the Senior Ministry Team. Oftentimes, senior ministry members participate in programs with our nearby sister school, St. Stanislaus, assisting with their students' educational and spiritual development. This can consist of helping with retreats, such as a recent one where St. Stanislaus students were taught to “Grow in their Faith” and how they should water their faith with prayer and eucharist like they need to water their plants. Many other departments also contribute to these programs, with our Agricultural Department donating the plants for this particular retreat. 

Senior Ministry Team members also help contribute to the monthly masses with audio/tech support, as well as through hospitality, participating in the choir, being altar servers, and being extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. WE always work together as a team to create a reverent and sacred space each month as WE celebrate the mass in the Mark Gallo Health & Fitness Center. WE welcome you to join us if you are available at that time for prayer and reflection.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Freshmen participate in a half day retreat during orientation week, as well as a full day retreat during the first quarter. The main focus for freshmen is developing a faith life through high school.

Spirit wear or school colors 💙💛 is highly encouraged to be worn for the Frosh Mini Retreat happening on August 7th at 9am-12noon at Glynn Hall Gym. WE will provide snacks and drinks for the retreat. The senior ministry team will lead this lovely event. The retreat theme is “Chosen by God”. WE very much look forward to seeing you there!
