Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry at Teurlings Catholic High School supports the spiritual formation of students by helping them integrate faith into daily life. Through retreats, service, prayer and community, students are invited to reflect, grow, and deepen their relationship with Christ.
“Draw me Lord, and we shall run” - Song of Songs 1:4
Each year, Campus Ministry is guided by a central theme that shapes retreats, prayer, service, and reflection throughout the year. This theme invites students to reflect more deeply on their faith.

“The feeder school retreats not only allowed me to minister to younger people, but in this I found myself growing closer to God. Teaching about my faith and speaking about it out loud helps me to realize where I am in my faith, and listening to the minds of middle schoolers helps me to see the world and our faith in a way that nobody but a young kid would see it in.”
-Andrew, TCHS Student
