faith & service

Educating the heart and mind in unifying love is at the core of SCHS's ministry team. Creating and sustaining an environment which nurtures “the formation of the hearts of students and the development of a positive response toward religion within them. I have always understood education to be only this. I have always been convinced that the first duty of any teacher is to produce Christians; society today has a greater need for people of values than it has for scholars.” Fr. Moreau.

“A distinctive characteristic of campus ministry is the multifaceted presence they have to the student, touching everything from catechesis to counseling to companionship. The presence and activity of campus ministers is a ministry of leadership and accompaniment. Campus Ministry has a unique opportunity to challenge students to examine their life-experiences with the perspective of faith and to learn ways in which daily life and faith converge.

Faith cannot be communicated as something which is proper only to religion classes or campus ministry activities; it must infiltrate every aspect of daily life. The ideal for campus ministry to serve the whole community is for students to see that faculty and staff are also working to see and understand the bridge between faith and daily experience.” Heritage and Mission in the Holy Cross Tradition.
