Our Campus Ministry Department seeks to form a community of faith on our campus so that each member of our community may encounter the love of God and “serve as the light of Christ” wherever they are called.

Mass

The Sacrifice of the Mass is the source and summit of our Catholic faith.  In other words, the Mass is the most important and sacred form of prayer. At the Mass, we are nourished by the Word and the Eucharist (Jesus fully present in the form of bread and wine). 

Morning Mass

Morning Mass is available to students on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7:10am in the St. Joseph Chapel (located in Mary Martha Hall). Students are invited to attend before the school day starts. Mass is over in time for 1st period.

Mass as a School Community

Mass is celebrated by the whole school monthly in the gym. 

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Qualified applicants who are called by God and approved by the church can serve at BMC as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. This unique and sacred ministry is an amazing experience of Jesus' real presence in the Eucharist and the power of the church's liturgy. Students who are interested in becoming an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion should contact Deacon Jackie at jackier@bishopmoore.org
 

Reconciliation

Twice a year, during Advent and Lent, students are offered an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  Priests from across the diocese come to hear the students’ confessions and offer God’s boundless mercy to them. Additionally, every first Wednesday of the month, a priest is present during lunch periods to offer the sacrament. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the most unique and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ, in His abundant love and mercy, established the Sacrament of Confession, so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness for our sins and reconcile with God and the Church. The sacrament “washes us clean,” and renews us in Christ.

“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained’” (John 20:21-23).

Peer Ministry

Our peer ministry is a comprehensive program for students that provides service and ministry opportunities for helping other students grow in their relationships with God and others. Peer Ministers volunteer during class retreats, spirit and charity drives, and at our school liturgies. They receive prayerful training and guidance from campus ministry staff that empowers them to share their faith with others.

Community Service

In 1954, the Sisters of St. Joseph founded Bishop Moore Catholic with the charism of “love for dear neighbor.” Our school seeks to continue this mission and form young men and women who leave BMC to “serve as the light of Christ” in the world. Our community service program is meant to inspire our students to make a gift of themselves to others. By fulfilling the community service requirements, our students are exposed to the needs of others and encouraged to find creative ways to share the light of Christ in a tangible way.
