INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP
Campus Ministry


Campus Ministry
The goal of Campus Ministry is to foster your personal encounter with Jesus Christ in His Church through the sacraments, prayer, community, and service so that you may live as an active disciple in the world today.
Through daily and weekly opportunities to celebrate the sacraments, through meaningful group activities and retreats, and through abundant opportunities to experience His love for you, Campus Ministry at FGR invites you to grow in faith and relationship with Christ.
Campus Ministry is guided by the following four pillars:
- Encounter – Meet Him
- Students will meet Jesus Christ
- Students will hear and understand the Gospel message
- Prayer – Know Him
- Preparation
- Students will learn how to pray individually and communally
- Students will learn how to pray relationally through meditation, contemplation, and vocal prayer
- Preparation
- Discernment – Listen to Him
- Students will be able to recognize the Lord’s voice
- Students will know what the Lord is calling them to do in/with their lives
- Mission – Make Him Known
-
- Students will make Jesus Christ known
- Students will respond to Jesus’ call
-

Each topic is emphasized individually within a specific grade level but are also each fostered throughout your academic and lived experience at Father Gabriel Richard High School.
At FGR, your developing faith will be activated through hours of service which will draw you closer to Him and to your fellow citizens.
