Through this program, Holy Family High School seeks to instill in its students a sense of service to thecommunity and a genuine, active love of neighbor. Experiences include service with their family, at their current or former schools, within their parish or faith community, and with organizations that work directly with people in need.

On-going portions of the project/experiences are presented in Theology classes.

Prayer is an integral part of our daily experience and every classbegins with prayer. Students participate in a monthly All-School Mass, and Class Masses during the school year. In addition, Daily Mass is offered at the end of each school day. We invite our families to participate in our school Masses.

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; Freshmen find God in nature and the Eucharist on the Freshmen Ascent; Sophomores engage in service to others; Juniors go off campus for a three-day intense religious experience called “Kairos”; and Seniors retreat with their classmates, reflecting on how Christ is calling each of them to be His disciples.

The Campus Ministry Club provides the opportunity for students to help plan Advent and Lenten Prayer Services, participate in Liturgies through being Altar Servers and providing liturgical music.
