Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry is an ongoing process of community building based on the belief that we
are all part of a family created by a loving God. Through retreats and liturgies, students
involved in Campus Ministry motivates students to share their faith and develop a closer
relationship with God. Campus Ministry also encourages the sharing of each student's God-given
talents through the development of a four-year Christian Service program. All Campus Ministry
programs are student-run with the support of faculty and staff.
Retreats
The retreat program at St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School is an integral part of the students' experience. All students are required to attend a one-day retreat each year. These retreat days are in place to help create class and school unity.
Based on their readiness all students are invited to attend optional overnight retreats for personal and communal spiritual growth. In addition to working, praying and playing together, students discuss issues concerning their relationships with each other, family and God. Faculty and trained student leaders facilitate all retreats. All retreats are counted as class days. Specific retreat information is available in the Student Life section of this website.
Christian Service
Christian Service is a graduation requirement at St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School. Each academic year students are required to participate in Christian Service activities. The components of the program are developmentally based, focusing on the abilities of the students as well as the ability of the local community to receive volunteers. As with all graduation requirements, a diploma will not be issued until all requirements are satisfied. The specifics of this program are available in the Student Life section of this website.
