Campus Ministry | Peer Ministers

Peer Ministry invites and empowers the students of Christian Brothers Academy to live the message of Jesus Christ. This is done through involvement in school liturgies, retreats, community-building activities, community outreach service opportunities, and working to bring about social justice. Peer Ministry strives to make God’s love visible and active within the entire school community.

The selection process for Peer Ministry takes place following Spring Break. Sophomores and Juniors may apply. The selection process is completed by the end of May and the Peer Ministers for the following academic year are commissioned at the First Friday Mass in June.
