Columbus offers an extensive campus ministry program for the entire Columbus family. We seek to make Jesus known and loved through as many avenues as possible. While it is the role of the Campus Ministry Office to direct activities which can help the school community foster their relationship with God, it is the entire school family that together forms our faith community.
Prayer & Mass : Prayer is an integral part of forming our relationship with God. Mass is offered daily in our chapel at 7:30 a.m. All students, faculty, staff and parents are welcome. Each morning during homeroom, a daily reflection and prayer is seen over the classroom televisions. Throughout the day, each class period is opened with a prayer. Our chapel is open throughout the day for students to drop by and say hello to Jesus through a prayer or just to take some quite time alone. Every Wednesday the Eucharist is exposed for adoration in our chapel. There are several occasions during the school year when certain classes or the entire school gathers to pray together
by way of Prayer Services or Mass.
Catechesis: We work closely through the Campus Ministry and Religion programs to bring Christ’s message to the young men at Columbus. A complete program of religious education in the Roman Catholic tradition is offered. Religion classes are required to be taken in every year of a student’s life at Columbus. The program is designed to engage and empower students to become fully integrated Roman Catholic young men who will become tomorrow’s leaders in Miami and in the world.
Retreats: Columbus retreats offer students in all grade levels wonderful opportunities for spiritual growth.
L.I.F.E. (Living In Faith Experience) This is our youth group which meets every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. It is one of the largest youth groups in Dade County wherein students are encouraged to explore their faith. Students minister to each other discussing the timely topics of life and faith. Every week a student leads a large group presentation then the youngsters break off into small groups where both teachers and students gather for a more in depth sharing opportunity.
Leadership: Marcellin Champagnat was a leader who led by example, in that spirit our students are required to do the same. Our retreat leaders are formed for leadership training.
