Faith & Service

Campus Ministry

The Senior Ministry Team (SMT) serves its peers, the community and the Church. SMT members share their faith and challenge other students to grow in their faith as well.

Here at Central Catholic there are many opportunities to support the school, especially when you are involved with the Senior Ministry Team. Senior Ministry Team members help contribute to the monthly masses with audio/tech support, as well as through hospitality, participating in the choir, being altar servers, and being extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. WE always work together as a team to create a reverent and sacred space each month as WE celebrate the mass in St. Stanislaus Church.

WE welcome you to join us if you are available at that time for prayer and reflection.

Advent Appreciation Dinner

Our Campus Ministry hosted an Advent appreciation dinner on December 19th for our seminarians.
Our student, Yale Ahlem, gave a speech and thanked Patrick for his service this semester at our school.
WE are very lucky indeed to have these men here for spiritual guidance in academics, athletics, and in daily life. WE hope they all have a lovely and happy Christmas season.

SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION MASS

WE humbly thank Father Ace and Father Ernesto for being our celebrants at the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception Mass on Monday, December 9th. WE were happily joined in prayer with St. Stanislaus students, as well as with parents of both schools, and even our wider community.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us. WE hope to see you at many more masses to come!

Advent Prayer Service w/St. Stans

Our Campus Ministry team led an advent prayer service for St. Stanislaus Middle School classes in the chapel with the help of Father Ernesto and Seminarian Patrick.











Blessing of the Animals

It was quite a lovely, sunshine-filled afternoon last Friday when many on campus participated in our very first Blessing of the Animals!

WE are extremely blessed to have Fr. Ernesto with us, leading the prayer service; Molly McDonald for creating & distributing the cutest certificates for the event; and for our amazing Agriculture Department for their huge support in getting their AG students to bring their pets. Among those in attendance were: dogs, cats, turtles, and even a few cows received a blessing.

If you were able to attend, WE thank you for coming out and partaking in this and WE hope to see all of you for next year as well.

Freshman Retreat

WE are incredibly blessed to be able to spend time together and reflect on faith and friendship.
WE thank you all for the prayers that our Freshman students would have a valuable and enjoyable experience participating in their first school retreat.

The Freshman retreat was definitely filled with faith, hope and love!

Our Senior Ministry Team did an amazing job leading the retreat and Fr. Ernesto concluded the retreat with the celebration of the Mass.



Solemnity Mass for the Assumption of Mary

WE send great thanks to those students in Senior Ministry who helped support our first school Mass, the Solemnity Mass for the Assumption of Mary, celebrated by Fr. Ernesto Madrigal at the newly refurbished St. Stanislaus Church!

WE also had the pleasure of hearing our choir perform with the support of our Music Teacher, Ms. Farias.

WE welcome all family members to come participate in Mass during the year, if your schedule allows.
WE hope to see you soon!
