Our Path of Discipleship


One of the joys of living our Catholic Faith is sharing it in a supportive parish atmosphere.

We address an integral component of growth in charity by helping students to live the Beatitudes. Our faith is not only for ourselves, but we are called to be missionary disciples and share the Good News. Because individual interests and charisms vary, students have a variety of opportunities to evangelize and be of service to the elderly, vulnerable, unborn and impoverished within our own community, across the country and around the world, as well as walking with other students in discipleship.
