Campus Ministry
Peer Ministry
In keeping with the Dominican tradition the office of Campus Ministry encourages and provides opportunities for young women to embrace and live the four pillars of Dominican life---community, prayer, study and service.
The Peer Ministry Program trains students to be leaders and catalysts promoting a vibrant Christian spirit on campus. Peer Ministers give witness talks and act as facilitators at evenings of reflection, retreats and liturgical services. Peer Ministers are encouraged to be of service in their parishes and local communities. Some students have attended the National Dominican Youth Preaching Conference held at Siena College in Adrian, Michigan.
Dominican Youth In Action
In keep with the charism of our Dominican tradition, this club seeks to preach the Gospel through social action and prayer. The club's main purpose is to make the school community more aware of the needs of the poor and disadvantaged people, both locally and globally, and to sponsor and participate in events to alleviate these situations. Examples of activities: Crop Walk for Hunger, Thanksgiving Baskets, Christmas Giving Tree, new/used clothing collection, Lenten food drive, Operation Rice Bowl.
A faith based service program encourages our young women to put their faith into action by serving in hospitals, day care centers, shelters, soup kitchens and nursing homes.
