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.
Catholic Schools Week - Rosary Balloon
Though it may have been quite the chilly morning, WE all gathered on campus to give thanks for the gift of Catholic Education during Catholic Schools Week. Mrs. Velasquez led us in a decade of the Rosary and our rosary balloon was set free into the air.
WE are quite thankful for all of you students and your families. Every single one of you brings this campus and community together and makes it a family.
May our collective prayers (and our balloon) bring joy and comfort to all those who come across it today. Amen.
Catholic Schools Week - WE MASS
What a beautiful way to kick off Catholic Schools Week - to start with a CSW "WE" Mass celebrated by Bishop Cotta. A big hearty THANK YOU to all who joined us this past Monday.
WE also had the pleasure of highlighting students who exemplify the Central Catholic spirit with our WE Awards. It was a lovely time where WE all got to spend time together in prayer and in our amazing community.
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
WEare 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!
