Campus Ministry
In the spirit of Edmund Ignatius Rice and with his holistic vision, we attend to the needs of the entire Brother Rice community through spiritual, moral, social justice, intellectual and liturgical programs throughout the school year.
Special ministries will be initiated as the need arises. Anyone interested in serving the Brother Rice community or the community at large should contact the Ministry Office.
Areas of service are: Acolytes, Eucharistic Ministers, Ministers of Music and Liturgy, Ushers, Peer Ministers, Retreat Aides, Volunteers in Christian Service Projects.
Freshmen and sophomore retreats are a required part of each student’s religious studies program and all students are expected to participate. The Kairos retreat program is offered to seniors and juniors. Specific policies and procedures regarding each retreat are available from the Campus Minister or the Theology Department chairperson.
The primary mission of the Ministry Office is the pastoral care of the Brother Rice community.
Spiritual Activities
School and classroom Masses and para-liturgies are a regular feature in the spiritual formation of Brother Rice students. Instruction in the art and practice of prayer and meditation is an integral part of each student’s religious formation at Brother Rice. Spiritual direction is available for those students who request it from the Ministry Office, which will then make the necessary arrangements.
The school chapel is open to all students for private prayer, devotions. Mass is celebrated on most Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings at 7:30.
