Welcome to Campus
Ministry at St. Augustine High School!
Our department is committed to providing all
SAINTS students with the opportunity for spiritual
growth and reflection. Founded in the principles
set forth by St. Augustine of Hippo, all students
learn to embrace the core values of Community,
Truth, and Love. It is this set of core values
that informs the spiritual journey the young
men at SAINTS will take during their high school
career.
While attending SAINTS, students will be given
ample opportunities to participate in retreats,
the student-led weekly liturgies, and Christian
service. By immersing themselves in Campus Ministry,
SAINTS students are answering their baptismal
call to participate fully and actively in their
Christian faith.
SAINTS students participate in the Christian
Service program by completing at least 25 hours
of Christian
Service each academic year. The
Campus Ministry office will offer numerous opportunities
throughout the year for students to volunteer
their time and talents on behalf of the SAINTS
community. Christian Service is a cornerstone
of the students’ experience at SAINTS
and all SAINTSMEN are encouraged to be creative
in their service location. The faculty and administration
fully support the Christian Service program,
and will often attend service projects with
the students.
The retreat program at SAINTS is also an integral
component of each student’s spiritual
development. Each class participates in a retreat
with specific themes and goals, with the senior
class being given the option of attending KAIROS
before graduating. Retreats are student-led
and driven, with an emphasis on unity, integrity,
and fellowship. Often graduating seniors reflect
on their retreat experience as their most influential
moments at SAINTS.
The purpose of Campus Ministry is to commit
ourselves to the spiritual development of the
young men who enter SAINTS. It is our goal to
create an environment that compels SAINTSMEN
to continue practicing their faith in a way
that reflects Augustinian values upon graduating.
As your new Campus Minister for the 2008-2009,
I invite all SAINTS students to stop by the
Campus Ministry office and introduce themselves,
as well as offer any suggestions they may have
which might enhance their experience at SAINTS.
I look forward to the upcoming year!
