Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry is at the heart of what Christian Brothers Academy is all about: a Catholic faith community committed to following Jesus in the spirit of St. John Baptist de La Salle. In this tradition, students are afforded many unique opportunities to serve others.
Peer Ministry
Peer Ministry invites and empowers the students of CBA to live the message of Jesus Christ. This is done through involvement in school liturgies, retreats, community-building activities, community outreach service opportunities, and working to bring about social justice. Peer Ministry strives to make God’s love visible and active within the entire school community.
Each year there are about 85 Peer Ministers who help plan the Liturgies, plan and run the grade-level retreats, perform service work in the community, and educate the school community/run the drives which benefit different causes.
The selection process for Peer Ministry takes place following Spring Break. Sophomores and Juniors may apply. The selection process is completed by the end of May.
