The
Campus Minister supports the spiritual life of the Hill-Murray community by collaborating with the Campus Ministry team, including our school Chaplain, who is an Archdiocesan priest, to guide the faith formation of high school students. This role helps lead prayer, liturgy, retreats, service, and justice-focused initiatives, all grounded in the Catholic and Benedictine tradition.
At Hill-Murray, Campus Ministry plays a vital role in helping students encounter and grow in their faith in meaningful, personal ways. Our work invites students to deepen their relationship with God, engage more fully with the life of the Church, and understand how their faith calls them to serve and lead in the world. We have the privilege of walking with students during an important stage of their spiritual development, helping them move from participation to ownership of their faith. Through experiences such as liturgies, prayer opportunities, retreats, service initiatives, immersion trips, and leadership development, Campus Ministry extends learning beyond the classroom. It encourages students to live their faith with purpose. This work is rooted in the teachings of the Archdiocese and shaped by our Benedictine values. This position reports to the Vice President for Mission.
