Campus Ministry

St. Joseph’s Campus Ministry programs help students come to understand they are valued and loved because of who they are and how God made them—not because of a grade they have earned, a goal they have scored, or a photograph they have posted.

From Wednesday night programs to morning prayers, middle school lunchtime groups, the Comadres, and the Compadres, Campus Ministry is active every day, all day long.

With the construction of The St. Joseph’s Way Center, our Campus Ministry will have dedicated spaces to come together for the rst time ever. By placing Campus Ministry front and center in The St. Joseph’s Way Center, we will help its programs ourish, encourage our students to explore and deepen their faith, and send a powerful message about our mission, values, and hopes for our students as they journey through Middle and High School.

By bringing counseling, support, ministry, theology, and student life together we acknowledge the interdependence of these aspects of the school and of a student’s experience. Grace builds upon nature, and so a student’s wellness is connected to their growth in faith. This entire building is a place to ask the big questions and discover people who will walk with you.

GABE LEWIS, Campus Minister

BY UNITING OUR TEAM at The St. Joseph’s Way Center, we will send a powerful message to our students about the importance we place on their daily wellbeing.

At some point, every one of our children will need some sort of extra assistance to overcome a challenge, whether that’s tutoring, support for a learning difference, or counseling for a social or emotional issue. Bringing Student Support Services to The St. Joseph’s Way Center is a testament to our commitment to nurture our students’ development holistically—mind, body, and spirit—just as our mission calls for.

WANDA JARACZEWSKI, Director of Middle School
