The faith formation of our students at Rosati-Kain is a priority for all members of our community. Campus ministry facilitates the spiritual growth of our community by providing diverse and invitational ways for all to actively participate in prayer forms, liturgy and worship, retreats and days of reflection, and service to neighbors. Everyone is welcome to participate in a manner that enriches each individually and all of us as a community.
The campus minister provides leadership for coordinating liturgies, retreats, and service work. Student leaders take ownership of making the spiritual life of our campus relevant and vibrant by planning and carrying out these prayer forms and events.
Prayer and Liturgy
- All-school liturgical celebrations are scheduled on a monthly basis.
- Individual classes have the opportunity to celebrate Class Mass once a
- semester.
- Students are provided the opportunity to participate in the Sacrament of
- Reconciliation during Advent and Lent.
Retreats
- The retreat program is a vital and integral part of the total school program. Students participate in a retreat experience each year. Annual participation is a graduation requirement.
- First-years, Sophomores, and Seniors participate in off-campus Prayer Days.
- Juniors participate in an overnight Kairos retreat.
Service project
Central to CSJ charism is the desire to love and serve the dear neighbor without distinction. Service is an expression of the love of Jesus Christ and the relationships He calls us to with others. It is hoped that students will feel called to continue a life of service beyond their years at Rosati-Kain. Over the course of their 4 years, students will engage in a minimum of 100 hours of service.
- First-years complete 15 hours of service in their communities, neighborhoods, parishes, families, etc.
- Sophomores complete 25 hours of service.
- Juniors complete 60 hours of service, the majority of which are completed as a part of the Junior Service Immersion Experience. The service immersion experience is approved by and completed under the direction of the campus minister. Juniors select their own sites in which they will serve daily for two weeks. Service Immersion projects will be completed with an agency whose sole purpose is to serve other people in some capacity.
