Faith

An active 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 integral part of our daily experience and every class begins with prayer.

Theology courses 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.

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.

Retreats are held for every class culminating in the Senior retreat, Kairos.

Kairos (God's Time)

 

The Kairos retreat, a four day intense religious experience, gives Seniors a powerful opportunity to develop their own personal relationship with God and to better know themselves and their fellow classmates.

Service Opportunities

Many opportunities for service are available throughout the year so each student can experience the satisfaction of volunteering in an area that is of interest to them and useful to the community. Students are required to participate in the Apostolic Ministry Program each year and many students volunteer many additional hours as an expression of their faith.

Spirit Wear

Holy Family dress code gives students many options in clothing colors and styles while maintaining comfort and decency. Spirit days are offered throughout the school year and provide an opportunity for students to further individualize their look. For more information on dress code and spirit wear see the student handbook. To order click here.
