The mission of  Campus Ministry at Central Catholic High School is to oversee the spiritual growth and Catholic, Marianist heritage of the school community. The Campus Ministry program of Central Catholic High School fulfills this mission through four components:

  • Retreats -- which provide an out-of-the-classroom experience that allows students to focus on their relationship with themselves, others and God.
  • Service Program -- which promotes an understanding of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, and work together towards peace and justice in our society.
  • Liturgical Celebrations -- which brings students, faculty and staff together as a Christian community for worship, and also to reflect on  and celebrate our relationship with God.
  • Adult and Student Sodalities -- which promotes living a Christian lifestyle, living the life of Jesus Christ.
