Notre Dame is more than a school; it's a community of integrity, justice, service, compassion, and respect, a place where we connect belief and action. Shaped by our Catholic faith, we instill values that prepare our students for lives of fulfillment and service to others, to make decisions with integrity, and to face challenges with strength.
One-quarter of our students come from other creeds, enriching our community and fostering mutual understanding as we build a more just society in a diverse world.

Spirituality

Underclassmen Spirituality Days

Underclassmen experience a day of reflection, prayer and discussion with their fellow classmates. Each year the voluntary Agape and Caritas retreats are also offered.

Kairos

Seniors have the option to take part in Kairos, a four-day retreat, which leads them through an intense self-reflection of their lives, their relationships and choices.

Student Support

Peer support groups for students experiencing loss and stress are available through our Spectrum Program. Campus Ministers are also available every day for students who may just want to talk. When necessary other resources are suggested or provided.

Liturgy and Worship

Once a month, we make it a priority to come together as a community for Liturgy. Students are involved as singers and musicians, lectors, Eucharistic ministers and altar servers. Liturgy is also celebrated on holy days of obligation and all religious holidays. Some masses are livestreamed on the ND YouTube channel.

The seasons of Advent and Lent are celebrated with daily prayer and reflection.

Prayer and Worship

Campus Ministry clubs promote prayer, faith development, and social justice. Each day we begin with morning prayer and end our week together with prayer.

Sacraments

Notre Dame is also blessed to be able to provide sacramental prep for students wishing to receive baptism or confirmation. Visit the RCIA page for additional information.

Anointing of the Sick and Reconciliation are available upon request.

Campus Ministry Wing

Our Campus Ministry wing is a light and airy space that  allows for quiet reflection or conversation with classmates and Campus Ministers.  "It is such a blessing to have this new larger space. We can accommodate more students to come and rest awhile, have a cup of hot chocolate and relax with their friends,” said Kathy Maley, Campus Minister.

As a community built on love and support, the Campus Ministry office allowed me to grow into the confident and faithful person I am today. My experience with the Caritas and Kairos retreats brought me closer to my classmates, myself, and God than I previously understood was possible. Facilitating Kairos further taught me how to lead with love and empathy, and was one of the best experiences of my high school career that I will carry with me forever.
