Campus Ministry  

In the spirit of the Gospel, Campus Ministry at Garces Memorial High School exists to support the spiritual growth and moral development of our school community. We are called to embrace the mission of Christ by:

Providing:

• Opportunities for students to deepen their faith and spiritual life.
  
• A faith community where students are nurtured and encouraged to live gospel values and share their gifts in service to others.

Promoting:

• Respect, Integrity, Compassion, and Courage

• Participation in our Catholic tradition and practices

• Participation by our students in their parish and faith communities
