Meet the DSHA Campus Ministry Officers
Each year, the DSHA Campus Ministry Officers work alongside the Campus Ministry faculty and staff to plan, coordinate, and lead a school year’s-worth of faith formation activities for their classmates. This group of seniors applies for their positions via an extensive written application and interview process toward the end of their junior year.Read More
Come senior year, these officers are the driving force behind all things Campus Ministry — retreats and service, prayer and worship, and a host of other opportunities rooted in the Salvatorian mission to make known the goodness and kindness of Jesus Christ. And all with the hope of involving and engaging their classmates in their personal faith journey and the community at large.
On Friday, May 17, the exiting 2018-2019 officers and the incoming 2019-2020 officers met for a celebratory gathering following the closing Mass of the school year. They prayed, broke bread (in the form of cupcakes!) together, exchanged gifts, and reflected on the year that was, and the year that is to come.

Why I Give Back to DSHA
Read MoreDivine Savior Holy Angel’s “Mosaic” program is an annual tradition in which the senior class pledges to give back to DSHA in gratitude for the past four years and to pay it forward to the next generation of Dashers.At a special assembly led by their class spokeswomen, all seniors are asked to make a four-year Mosaic pledge. The first gift of $5 is made in their freshman year of college. In year two, it is $10, then $15, and then $20 for a total pledge of $50. The math comes to less than 4 cents a day: 4 cents a day for DSHA!During the assembly, the senior class spokeswomen shared why they give back through Mosaic.

From Listening to Leading
Read MoreWho knew a one-week trip could change you so much? I was one of the fortunate students given the opportunity to participate in the Civil Rights Pilgrimage this past summer. Beforehand, I thought the trip would be a big history lesson in which I learned more about the civil rights movement that changed our country 50 years ago. I was also excited to make my first trip outside Wisconsin, visiting other states for the first time in my life! -
No Longer a Spectator
Read MoreIt was overwhelming — and life changing. The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, was one of the last sites we visited on our Civil Rights Pilgrimage. For me, it was the most affecting. Rounding a corner as I entered the main section of the memorial, I was confronted by a giant image of a black teenager being lynched before 10,000 cheering white onlookers. For a moment, it paralyzed me. I stared at the spectators in the photo, many of them smiling and even laughing at the young man’s torture. -
Praying with Your Feet
Read MoreTo say the Pilgrimage was amazing would simply be an understatement. This trip changed me more than any other trip I have ever taken because it was not just a trip. It was a Pilgrimage — a quest, a week-long, soul-searching journey that took my classmates and me to historic sites throughout the South and raised big questions about our faith and its meaning in our lives. -
