“We, who are many, are one body in Christ.”The Campus Ministry Office at Christian Brothers Academy strives to provide for the ongoing spiritual development of all members of the CBA community including students, faculty, parents, and alumni. The spiritual life of Christian Brothers Academy is based on the gospel message of Jesus Christ and all the components of the Campus Ministry program follow the tradition of the Catholic Church and the charism of our founder, St. John Baptist de la Salle.
Campus Ministry is made up of three components with an ongoing focus that
We Are One in the Body of Christ
The knowledge of our faith is transmitted via the theology classes offered by the Religious Studies Department. All students are required to take religion class each academic year. The focus of each grade is:
The second component encompasses prayer, liturgies, retreats, penance services, and vocation awareness for both faculty/staff and students.
Prayer is an integral part of each day. The school day begins with morning prayer over the public address system, read by students. A prayer reflection sets the tone for the day. In addition, every class period begins with the reminder that “We are in the Holy presence of God”. Jesus Christ is the reason for the existence of Christian Brothers Academy. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in our classes. He is the model of our faculty and the inspiration of our students. It is essential that we remain grounded in prayer. Faculty prayer gatherings are held occasionally in the chapel for all who wish to gather their thoughts for the day. The chapel is always open and welcoming to anyone who wishes to spend time there. Special prayer sessions are held during exam weeks and at many times throughout the year.
is the service component of CBA reflected in the activities and projects of Lasallian Youth and Peer Ministry.
The Office of Campus Ministry offers seasonal prayer services, an annual retreat, and prayer experiences at Orientation for New Teachers and teacher in-service days and faculty meetings.
Together with the Parent Club, Campus Ministry offers monthly First Friday Mass and annual Mother/Son and Father/Daughter Communion Breakfasts. A yearly retreat for Mothers of CBA students is also offered.
Campus Ministry co-sponsors the annual Alumni Memorial Mass for our deceased alumni. See Alumni section for more details >
