Meet the DSHA Campus Ministry Officers

“Being an officer has honestly been the best part of high school. I used to see CMC as something to be utilized independently to improve my faith, alone through reflection on retreat or prayer. Being an officer has taught me that the best way to feel Christ's love is by spending time with others who seek it out. I've learned the beauty of growing closer to others in relationships built on faith.”

“I have learned to lead others in faith. My faith isn't just for me anymore, it is for others as well. I can help other people segue in their everyday lives and that is amazing.”

“My faith has grown tremendously… instead of being ninety percent invested in Mass, I am now one hundred percent. I have been more conscious of my actions and how other people view me, and it has caused me to make a greater effort to keep strengthening my faith.”

 

“I see the immense amount of faith my classmates have and what we can do when we come together to pray and give to others. And I’ve also seen how there is not only one way to live out your faith. Being an officer has been one of the greatest blessings.”

 

“My faith has grown to be active. I have discovered that I am a good administrator and event planner by participating in and planning events all year. This realization has also helped me discover that my faith can combine with my abilities to have a real effect on my local community.”

 

“My faith has grown tremendously. Seeing others who were passionate about their own faith strengthened mine. Whether it was Rosary, praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, Worship Wednesday, or sandwich-making, I tried to make the most of my last year in Campus Ministry. Sitting in silence in the chapel and speaking to Christ also greatly strengthened my relationship with Him.”

 

“I became more interested in growing in my faith after seeing the immense strength of others. Before I was just going through the motions without putting any real thought into it. DSHA taught me to be more open about my faith. Being an officer this year was the biggest positive experience of my high school career.”

“I hope we can involve more people in praying the Rosary and devotions throughout the day — experiencing these small daily habits can help grow your relationship with God and sustain our faith during turbulent times.”

 

“I want to get people involved in the small things — like sandwich making — because it helps create a sense of community and belonging. High school can be tough and we are so lucky that we get to build faith with God and people during the school day.”

 

“I want to create a welcoming presence and space for girls to connect to God and others, that we can all be more present and mindful. I hope we can break down guards and be our authentic selves and form connections. I hope Campus Ministry will continue to be a great unifier.”

 

“I hope to be the model of faith that I saw as a freshman because we can all have a strong faith life. My mom often reminds me to, ‘Find the face of the Lord in those you least expect,’ and I hope that my classmates can experience this while doing service next year.”

 

“My hope is that students become more excited about the prayer aspect of Campus Ministry, especially our weekly optional liturgy. I hope that girls can experience how embracing your faith is so important — especially when our outside world tells us otherwise sometimes.”

 

“I hope that everyone finds their place and a way to grow — and to know that it is okay that we all grow differently. I want students to immerse themselves in the community that Campus Ministry is.”

“Campus Ministry has something for every girl. Especially as freshmen — I hope that from the start of their high school career more girls get involved with all of the great opportunities and continue to develop their relationship with God. ”
