Campus Ministry seeks to foster the spiritual, intellectual and emotional growth of the Bishop McNamara Catholic High School family. It is our mission to promote the Gospel message of love of God, others and self. Through our baptism, we are called to be imitators of Jesus Christ in our words and actions. Liturgies, retreats and service to others are essential in helping us to become the people God created us to be.
Liturgy
 
Bishop McNamara is a values based community. School Masses are held monthly and students are able to assist in the celebration.
The Studnet Ministry Team (SMT) plans the basic themes and outlines of all school liturgies.

Kairos Retreats
Juniors and seniors may take advantage of this program. Kairos – meaning “God’s Time”, provides a 3 day retreat experience that offers a combination of prayer, reflection and personal witness. Kairos “Fourth Days” are a series of on-going Sunday evening get-togethers that keep the spirit and camaraderie of this special program a part of each person's daily lives.

Service
Students are required to perform various acts of service. It is a graduation requirement for every student to complete 60 hours of community service - 15 hours per year - in the areas of school, community and church. Once these hours are completed, a written reflection is required for verification. Forms may be picked up in Campus Ministry or downloaded below. Completed forms are to be turned in to Campus Ministry.
Christian Service runs from June 16, 2009 - *May 15, 2010. In the summer of 2010, hours completed after May 15 will be applied to the upcoming year.
*For the current senior class, all Christian service requirements (hours and paper) must be completed by March 15, 2010. This is to ensure that all requirements have been met in time for graduation.
A Senior who has not completed his/her service requirement (hours and paper) by March 15, along with not being eligible to graduate, will also not be allowed to participate in prom, senior celebration or extracurricular activities until the Christian service requirement is completed.
