Spiritual Life

Welcome to Campus Ministry. 

We’re glad you’re here!  Campus Ministry is first and foremost a center of hospitality for all who come to SFC.  It provides an atmosphere of welcome and personal regard.  It is primarily responsible for providing and maintaining the vision of being a Christ Centered Learning Community where all are encouraged to develop and nurture their own spirituality in an atmosphere where Jesus Christ is the center of all that we do and are.

The theme for this year is “Called to Greatness to share Christ’s love with all.”  Each month will highlight a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.  A brief biography will be offered and suggestions for living out the values and teachings of that saint will be posted on the bulletin boards in the main corridor of the Administration building and on the MPC bulletin board.

We advocate a strong spiritual life for our SFC family.  Each teacher begins class with prayer and students offer prayer before homeroom each day through Broadcasting.   SFC campus ministry offers weekly Masses, presided over by our school pastor, Fr. Ramon Bolatete and occasionally a visiting priest, seasonal penance services, class and all school retreats and other prayer services including the Living Rosary and Stations of the Cross.  The Chapel in Crimson Hall is available to students for Eucharistic Adoration or quiet meditation.  I am available to students, faculty, staff and parents throughout the day for spiritual guidance.  We have 15 peer ministers who assist me with various events throughout the year and serve as “buddies” to all of our new students.

We also provide opportunities for students to participate in community service projects either individually or communally.  Opportunities are posted throughout the year on EDLINE, school bulletin boards and Hawk Weekly.

Please stop by the Campus Ministry Office located in the Administration Building at any time.  You are always welcome!

Peace and all good things,

Br. Paul Santoro, OFM
