Campus Ministry seeks to foster the spiritual, intellectual and emotional growth of the Bishop McNamara Catholic High School family. It is our mission to promote the Gospel message of love of God, others and self. Through our baptism, we are called to be imitators of Jesus Christ in our words and actions. Liturgies, retreats and service to others are essential in helping us to become the people God created us to be.
Liturgy
 
Bishop McNamara is a values based community. School Masses are held monthly and students are able to assist in the celebration.
The Student Ministry Team (SMT) plans the basic themes and outlines of all school liturgies.

Kairos Retreats
Juniors and seniors may take advantage of this program. Kairos – meaning “God’s Time”, provides a 3 day retreat experience that offers a combination of prayer, reflection and personal witness. Kairos “4th Days” are a series of on-going Sunday evening get-togethers that keep the spirit and camaraderie of this special program a part of each person's daily lives.

Service
Students are required to perform various acts of service. It is a graduation requirement for every student to complete 60 hours of service- 15 hours per year in the areas of school, community, and church. Once these hours are completed, a written reflection is required for verification. Forms may be picked up in Campus Ministry and then the completed forms are turned in to Campus Ministry. Stop in the Campus Ministry Office for ways to get service hours.
Christian Service runs from June 16, 2010 –**May 15, 2011. In the summer of 2010, hours completed after May 15 will be applied to the upcoming school year. ** For the current Senior Class, all Christian service requirements (hours and paper) must be completed by March 15, 2011. This is to ensure that all requirements have been met in time for graduation.
A Senior who has not completed his or her service requirement (hours and paper) by March 15, 2011, along with being ineligible to graduate, will also not be allowed to participate in prom, senior celebration, or co-curricular activities until the Christian service requirement is completed.
All other students will be unable to enroll in extra-curricular activities-Sports, Drama, Organizations, Clubs, etc… (2011-12 school year) until the hours and paper are complete and turned in to the Campus Ministry Office.
Please Note: Any incorrect information/dates posted does not excuse the students from service requirement deadlines
