Campus Ministry Student Board Application
2008-2009 Academic Year
The Campus Ministry student board invites and welcomes application for membership from Prep students
who are committed to living and growing as Christian leaders and to exercising that leadership within the
Prep community and beyond. If after reading and carefully considering the expectations for membership you
wish to join this community of leaders please discuss this commitment with your parents and sign below in
the appropriate space and ask your parent to do the same.
1. The Campus Ministry Student Board is an essential part of the Campus Ministry Office. The student board
is a community of Christian leaders and therefore those students chosen to be a part of the board should view
themselves as “servant leaders”. Members of the student board must take part in one of our leadership
retreats offered this summer (August 14 or 21 will be in Monroe, CT or in the Notre Dame University Vision
Program). Failure to attend one of these retreats will result in your removal from the board. Past participants
in this retreat will be asked to serve in a greater capacity.
2. We are looking for a diverse group of student leaders from different grade levels who posses varied talents
and interests. Student board members are expected to:
-Participate in a leadership capacity at our morning masses (8:10) at least once a month and at our
full school liturgies.
-Lead morning prayer over the PA at least once a month.
-Be a part of the freshman retreat in a leadership capacity (grounds crew, leader, committee member)
-Organize and collect Mite Box and support its causes.
-Attend all Campus Ministry Student Board meetings. The dates are as follows and please note on
your calendar: 9/8; 10/6; 11/17; 12/1; 1/12; 2/9; 3/2; 4/6; 5/18; 6/1. These take place after school
from 2:35 until 3:15.
These are the minimum expectations of all student board members but there will be other opportunities for
board members to exercise their role as Christian leaders.

If I am accepted into the Campus Ministry Student Board I understand that I am making a commitment to the
Campus Ministry Program for the entire school year. I commit myself to personal growth throughout the
year so that I might both strengthen my relationship with God and my dedication to service. I also commit
myself to my fellow student board members in establishing a community of faith, friendship, support and
encouragement.
I realize that this commitment will demand on my part a sacrifice of time, energy and shared talent. I realize
being a student board member will require me to lead by setting an example for others to follow and that my
behavior and attitude is always and everywhere a reflection of my role as a Christian leader.
I realize that if I am not accepted onto the student board, Campus Ministry offers many other opportunities
for leadership and service and that I can continue to be supportive of those values by seeking out these and
other ways to serve within the school community.
