Campus Ministry<br />

The Campus Ministry staff works with students, parent(s)/guardian(s) and faculty to help our<br />

development as a Christian community. The role of Campus Ministry is to provide services that will<br />

assist the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> community in putting the mission of the school into action. Through the<br />

Campus Ministry program, students become contributing members of a Christian community that<br />

responds to the needs of others, especially the poor, with loving service.<br />

The primary objective of the campus minister is to incorporate religious beliefs and values into<br />

everyday student life by means of services, programs and activities for participation by the entire<br />

<strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> student community.<br />

Christian Service<br />

Each student is required to complete a minimum of 25 hours of Christian Service each year along<br />

with a Personal Reflection paper. Campus Ministry provides several opportunities each month for<br />

students to participate in service activities to fulfill this service requirement. Students of all grade<br />

levels are welcome to participate. The Christian Service page of the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> website also<br />

provides information about area organizations where students can complete their hours.<br />

Retreats<br />

Retreats are special opportunities offered to teachers and students at <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> to spend some time<br />

together, away from the normal routine of the day, thinking, sharing, praying and getting to know<br />

themselves, each other and God a little better. Students who have gone on a retreat agree that the<br />

retreat was one of the most memorable points of the year; they are also terrific spirit builders<br />

throughout the school.<br />

All freshmen are required to participate in a retreat experience. An on-campus retreat will be offered<br />

on two separate dates and freshmen will be notified as to which retreat they are scheduled for.<br />

Freshmen and sophomores may also attend the overnight Quest retreat. A two-day optional retreat<br />

will be offered for juniors. Both juniors and seniors may apply to attend a Kairos retreat. All<br />

retreats are scheduled to provide opportunities for deeper spiritual development.<br />

<strong>School</strong> Liturgies<br />

Each month, the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> community gathers to celebrate Liturgy. Students are<br />

invited and encouraged to participate in our liturgies in many ways. Students participate as Worship<br />

Team members to plan the Mass, lectors, cantors, musicians, Eucharistic ministers and other<br />

ministry opportunities.<br />
