Campus Ministry
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
Mission
The primary goal of the Teurlings Catholic High School Spiritual Formation program is to offer a curriculum that includes both faith-based instruction in accordance with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and an active campus ministry program that enables students to integrate the Gospel values into their daily lives. All students are required to take a Theology course during each of their four years of high school. To fully implement the mission statement of TCHS, “To Channel His Spirit for the glory of God,” many opportunities are available for students to further develop their spiritual formation, including Mass, confession, adoration, retreats, bible studies, pilgrimages, and mission trips.
