About the Campus Ministry

Students in Grades 6–12 may join our Campus Ministry—an 80+ student organization dedicated to bringing the values of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops into our schools’ everyday.

Campus Ministry Groups

Organized into five categories—pro-life, faith formation, food pantry, fundraising, and housekeeping—our Campus Ministry works to further the spiritual formation of our student body, empowering them to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.

The Campus Ministry services pro-life groups in Utica, plans school-wide liturgies throughout the year, organizes an ongoing food pantry, raises money for local causes, and tends to our chapel.

Pro-Life

We focus on the dignity of the human person from conception to natural death. Our very active pro-life leadership team generates ideas for pro-life awareness within our school, dealing with many facets of our mission based on the sisters of life curriculum from the diocese of Washington dc. And community service to pro-life groups in our local area. Our pro-life baby shower(care-net, Evelyn's House) Adoption tea party and Rosary for Life are some of the many activities we do throughout the school year.

Food Pantry

Our food pantry is where our students bring canned goods, coffee, pasta, sauce, breakfast cereals, protein snacks etc. We service our Notre Dame families first then reach out to the rescue missions of Utica and Rome. We work with other organizations, including the American Red Cross, hope house, Utica food pantry, and Mother Marianne Kitchen, to assist their needs.

Fundraising

Bake sales, car washes, and bottle and can drives are events to help raise money for worthy causes in our community.

Housekeeping

Part of the community service hours for campus ministry is keeping our chapel neat and clean. They are also responsible for decorating at Christmas, during the school year, and placing fixtures and posters during the Lenten and Easter season.
