Campus Ministry

The Campus Ministry Department seeks to enhance the spiritual nature of the school, provides opportunity for the sacraments, and meaningful prayer experiences and services. Prayer is an iintegral part of our daily experience and every class begins with prayer.

Campus Ministry works collaboratively with the Theology Department to encourage students to seek to understand their faith, practice their beliefs, and most importantly, grow closer to Jesus Christ as they mature into young adults. Retreats are held for every class.

The Liturgy Committee provides the opportunity for students to help create and minister in the Liturgies and liturgical seasons, while the Liturgy Musical Group encourages a variety of instruments, voices, and styles of music.

The Mission Club creates projects that center on collections for various needs in the community and other areas of service.

Liturgies

Holy Family High School, as a Catholic community, offers a variety of liturgical experiences for the Catholic development of its members. At least once monthly a liturgy is planned throughout the year to celebrate the Church's Holy seasons, Feast days, and special school activities. In addition, there will be opportunities for class Masses and small group liturgies. Click here for the Mass, Retreat & Prayer Schedule.

  • Seniors go away for a one-night retreat with their entire class.
  • Juniors participate in one three and half-day Kairos Retreat.
  • Sophomores and Freshmen participate in a one-day, off-campus retreat.
  • Those who miss their class retreat must take part in a one-day makeup retreat.

 

Apostolic Ministry Program

Holy Family students are required to be a part of our Apostolic Ministry Program. Each year students are asked to design an Apostolic Ministry Project as a part of Holy Family’s four year Ministry Project. Each year the expectations vary in the area of service. This is such an important part of who we are as a school, that completion of this program is required for graduation.

The Goal of the Program:

The goal is to give every student a full range of experiences in the area of service with a program that calls for reflection and learning from the experiences. As Catholic Christians we follow the example of Jesus to be a people who welcome the lost, heal the sick, comfort the sorrowing and reach out to those in need. These good habits are natural for all of us to an extent but still need nurturing. The program is designed to include all areas of life: home, school and the broader community. The program is designed to give lots of ideas and support to the student while encouraging their initiative and responsibility.
