Faith & Service

Welcome to Campus Ministry. Our mission is best expressed in our school mission statement and the seven Hallmarks of a Notre Dame Learning Community.

Campus Ministry embodies these Hallmarks by:

    • Planning monthly liturgies and prayer services
    • Weekly prayer for staff
    • Using the chapel for class prayer
    • Offering the Sacrament of Reconciliation after each school liturgy
    • Providing student planned prayer time daily in each class
    • Keeping a community prayer book for special intentions
    • Maintaining a library of theology texts
    • Offering spiritual direction for students
    • Supporting and assisting a Liturgical Life Team
    • Supporting and assisting a Senior Retreat Team
    • Coordinating Service Learning 

Prayer

Campus Ministry prays for the needs of our families.  There is a prayer book outside of Campus Ministry in Billiart Hall where prayer requests are recorded.  If this is not convenient, please email your prayer intentions to Sr. Barbara at the email address listed on this page.

Service Learning

In Service Learning, we strive to “become what we receive” at Mass -- the total love of Christ in solidarity with others and all of creation.

In the Theology curriculum, students are required to complete 20 hours of a Service Learning Project in each grade.  The student selected Service Learning commitment culminates each year in a final presentation on one's chosen praxis (action-reflection-action).

There are a number of service opportunities offered on and off campus with the Diocese through Camput Ministry.   Note:  There is a steady stream of service opportunities presented all year.  Please visit Campus Ministry and/or contact Mr. Ed Ibarra (phone and email listed in left column) for details.

"Our charity must not be limited by the love we have for one another.   It must make our hearts as wide as the world." ~ St. Julie Billiart, Foundress of the Sisters of Notre Dame

"If we love what God loves, then, in compassion, margins get erased.  Be compassionate as God is compassionate, means the dismantling of barriers that exclude." ~ Fr. Gregory Boyle
