SCHOOL MINISTRY
School Ministry is dedicated to teaching and helping others to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The vision of School Ministry is that all members of the school community will become actively involved in working for the improvement of the human condition, bringing about God's Kingdom and a life of prayer. In order to accomplish this, we invite members of the community to become active in a variety of areas.
Retreats: One of the key features of our School Ministry program is a comprehensive retreat program for students, parents and faculty. Retreat is understood as time away from the pressures of daily life to focus on the essentials of our relationships with God and others.

In addition to the retreat program, students are involved in monthly liturgies and many prayer experiences. They serve as musicians, choir members, readers, ushers, gift bearers and Eucharistic Ministers.
It is our goal that the students develop a greater love and desire for participation in the life of their Church. We recognize that the high school community is a temporary one and that the student's faith community offers lifetime support and guidance. It is for this reason that we fully support and encourage our Catholic students' participation in the communal and Sacramental life of their parish.
Service: As a Catholic school, we are committed to providing opportunities for young people to challenge themselves beyond academic excellence. To honor this commitment, we require students to perform community service each of their years at PCHS. The variety, intensity and requirements are commensurate with the abilities of each grade level. See the Christian Service Brochure.
