Liturgical Seasons

In Campus Ministry, as with the Catholic Church, our prayer and programming is shaped by the Liturgical Year. While much of our programming takes place on a regular basis, such as monthly all-school Masse, our school transforms during the seasons of Advent and Lent to help us better prepare for the great celebrations of the Church. During these seasons, students enter into our Campus Ministry Advent and Lenten projects by participating in events that connect prayer and service to the greater community.

SEASON OF ADVENT

During Advent, Campus Ministry supports a local Milwaukee agency through service projects and prayer opportunities. Past agencies include the Milwaukee Cathedral Center, St. Coletta’s Day School, Penfield Children’s Center, and Franciscan Peacemakers. 

SEASON OF LENT

During Lent, we unite ourselves through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to better understand and support a global need. Past examples include hunger through Heifer International, Syrian refugees through Samaritan’s Purse, or women’s education through the Malala Fund.
