Campus Ministry
Mission Statement:
Academic Year Theme: "One Spirit One Mind." (Philippians 2:2)
It is the mission of the Campus Ministry program to help all members of the Bishop Stang community develop and deepen their personal relationship with Christ, to provide opportunities for growth in their faith and spiritual development, and to continually offer praise and worship, giving thanks to God in all things.
Objectives:
The attitude of Jesus Christ permeates all of our endeavors. Our success as an educational community is rooted in our belief that we are a family dedicated to the message of Jesus Christ and His Church.
The primary facilitator of this message is the school's Campus Ministry team comprised of students, faculty, community members, and the Campus Ministers.
The Campus Ministry Office encourages spiritual development and provides a venue that empowers the students to be Catholic leaders within the school and in their homes, their parishes, and their communities.
