What is Campus Ministry

Campus Ministry at Padua Franciscan High School helps students to integrate their faith into their daily life and into the daily life of Padua Franciscan High School.

Campus Ministry offers students many opportunities for leadership experiences in Student Ministries.  Students are also given the opportunities to develop relationships with their brothers and sisters who are poor or marginalized by service and peace/justice experiences.
