Campus Ministry | Bishop Feehan High School

About the Office of Campus Ministry

The Office of Campus Ministry provides spiritual programs and Christian service activities that enhance the Catholic character of the school. These programs and activities are designed to develop the abilities of Feehan students to serve and lead in our society and our church.

Main Goal

The Office of Campus Ministry ensures that the mission statement of Bishop Feehan High School becomes a lived reality in the lives of our students and faculty. Our mission statement challenges us to grow in our love and knowledge of the person of Jesus Christ, and to live lives of integrity and service. We continue to embrace this mission statement every day. Through Theology classes, Eucharistic Celebrations, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, peer ministry, service experiences and the retreat programs, students are truly educated in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ and His Church.

Gatherings

We gather as a school community for prayer and Eucharist to open the school year, Catholic Schools week, Holy Days and to end the school year. We are a sacramental community recognizing our need for prayer, community and Eucharist for our spiritual journey.

Retreats

We continue to offer our students nine retreats a year, which positively impacts our student body. Each retreat has the goal of further moving us from our head to our heart in our faith. The Campus Ministry student leaders facilitate the retreats and prayer services. During Lent and Advent, we will engage in a total school reconciliation service.

The Peer Ministry Program

The Peer Ministry program at Feehan is made up of over 400 students each semester who participate in a scripture study once a week that applies biblical principles to real life situations. Senior Campus Ministry officers, who share their faith and prayer life with their peers, teach these classes. They are excellent role models for the underclassmen and again, challenge their peers to move from their head to their heart in their faith life.

Retreat Requirement

All students must attend two school retreats as a graduation requirement. Each student attends a mandatory retreat during the freshman year. Thereafter students must choose an additional school sponsored retreat during the remaining three years.

Community Service

Beginning with the class of 2008, and every entering class thereafter, students will be required to engage in 20 hours of approved Christian Service per year during their freshman, sophomore, and junior years. During the senior year students will be required to submit a Christian Service portfolio. Both the service hours and portfolio are graduation requirements. The Office of Campus Ministry will provide detailed community service packets to all students detailing the service requirements. A service hour verification form is also available for download.
