Ministry

The Department of Campus Ministry offers activities and programs to the school community that awaken faith and promote the values of fraternity, service, hospitality, and compassion as embodied in the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church and the Order of Friar Servants of Mary. We foster the search for God and develop a masculine spirituality through personal encounters with Christ. We achieve our mission through daily prayer, liturgical worship, the celebration of the Sacraments, days of reflection, retreats, related spiritual leadership opportunities, spiritual direction, and Christian Service.

The Order of Friar Servants of Mary

The spiritual life and identity of Servite High School are founded on the principles and traditions of the Servite Order. Founded in 1233, the Servite Order extends its traditions of service, fraternity, and devotion to Mary to the men of Servite High School.

 

DAILY MASS & Confession

Daily Masses will be celebrated at 7:45 am during the school year. Please note that on days when an all-school Mass is scheduled, there will be no morning Mass. We invite you to join the Servite Community for the all-school Masses at 11:15 am.

Our Servite Chaplain, Fr. Chinnappan Mudiyappan O.S.M. will be available Wednesdays and Fridays during the lunch period in the chapel, as well as by appointment to hear your Confessions.

Parent/Guardian MASS

Parent/Guardian & Son Mass & Donuts is BACK! Masses will be held at 7:30 am, the first Friday of the month. More information will be communicated closer to the date via Credo Communications.

"MARY MONDAY"

We will pray the Rosary or the Seven Sorrows Rosary (alternating between the two) every Monday at the Statue during lunch.

EXPOSITION

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is held every Friday from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm throughout the school day. Various teachers and staff members offer up time to adore Christ in the sacrament so others may as well. You are welcome to come and worship. 

Come and pray with us on Fridays at 3:00 pm! We check in with each other on our week, offer prayer intentions, pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, and worship Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament through Benediction!

CHRISTIAN SERVICE 

Students are required to complete 25 service hours or more a year before March 31st. The graduation requirement of 100 hours or more remains the same. To read more about this, please consult the Parent/Student Handbook online. We use the app MobileServe to help track service hours better and more efficiently. Accounts are already created for each student, who will be able to input hours and have verification emails sent to his service supervisor. In addition, completing a service project and reporting.

THE SERVITE PROJECT

The Servite Project is a meaningful, year-long service initiative undertaken by every freshman student. In this project, each student commits to dedicating a minimum of 25 service hours to a single organization of their choice. Upon completion, students commemorate their journey by creating and sharing a self-produced video that highlights their experiences.
