Campus Ministry

Students will be involved in many faith-based activities such as regular mass, adoration, confession, prayer time at the beginning of every class and more. But in order for students to thrive in their faith during and after high school, they are encouraged to make the faith their own!

Owning your faith is a process where you begin to believe that Jesus is alive in your life! If Jesus is who He says he is, then our lives must change. By owning your faith, you decide to change your life so that it reflects more of Jesus’ life. This involves first and foremost an encounter with Jesus. We encounter Jesus in many and various ways, but He is always present to us in the Sacraments (especially the Eucharist) and in personal prayer.

Developing a life of prayer is vital to owning your faith. Campus Ministry is here to help you encounter Christ and to help you develop a lively life of prayer! You will find resources to help you find your own strategies for being open to God’s word (regular schedule of silent time, prayer, devotions, confession, etc.), and participating in faith-based activities that fit your personal interests (an activity that allows you to bond with other like-minded individuals, such as theater, music, sports and more).

When students graduate high school, a large part of their structured faith life (school) is removed. To stay active in the faith is to continue to own the faith. After high school, students and graduates have various avenues to continue to grow in the faith by seeking out a Newman Center at a university, or a Catholic bible study, or even becoming involved in the local Catholic church.

At Pius X, students have many opportunities to lay the foundation of their faith that transcends the normal high school experience and is truly their own upon graduation.
