Campus Ministry

Student Experiences 

• The entire school community gathers for Mass once a month. In addition, each class has the opportunity to attend Mass twice a semester.
• The Sacrament of Reconciliation is available to all students twice a year, during Advent and Lent. Furthermore, our chaplain is always available if a student would like to schedule an appointment.
• Senior students who are leaders in the faith community have the opportunity to be installed as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to serve at school wide liturgies. 

• Freshmen: early in the year the Freshmen meet at a local church to learn about the history of the school, look through old yearbooks, write letters to their future selves, get to know each other, and celebrate Mass.
• Sophomores: the Sophomore class typically visit St. Anthony Chapel in Troy Hill as a way to deepen their relationship with the saints and the Church.
• Juniors: the Junior retreat centers on the vocations to the priesthood, religious life, the single life and marriage. Speakers are asked to share their stories and insights into these vocations.
• Seniors: the Senior retreat focuses on the Social Teaching of the Church by means of a pilgrimage to churches within the diocese where the needs of those on the margins of society have historically been met: St. Patrick (Strip District), St. Nicholas (Millvale) among others.  Seniors have also heard presentations from Operation Safety Net on these days.
