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 />
