Campus Ministry – The Mission"Preach the Gospel and if necessary use words." – St. Francis of Assisi

The Campus Ministry department at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School endeavors to bring the Gospel message of Jesus Christ to students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni of Bishop Manogue. We utilize retreats, education, service, liturgy, prayer, community, fellowship, and worship as our primary tools in achieving this goal. Campus Ministry is about helping our community connect with God on a deeper level and growing in our Catholic faith.

The only requirements to be involved in Peer Ministry are a positive attitude, a willingness to serve, and enrollment in the Peer Ministry elective class 4th period.

Service – The Campus Ministry department encourages a lifelong commitment to service in the model of Jesus Christ. To this end we oversee the Christian Service Program as well as service trips and local service experiences. This year we will be sponsoring a school wide service day on March 31, 2010.

Prayer – In order to maintain and foster a spirit of faith the Campus Ministry department begins and ends every school day with school wide prayer. We also have a prayer box for special intentions in Christ the Teacher Chapel. There are differing prayer opportunities that correspond to the liturgical season and events happening in and around the school. Moreover, through a connection to the Parents Association there is a bi-weekly rosary group that meets to hold up special intentions and the Bishop Manogue community through the praying of the rosary. The rosary group meets on Tuesday mornings at 7:55 am. There will be a second day to be determined. For more information on the rosary group please contact Karen Mowry at CLOAKING .
