Understanding the Call to Discipleship:
Peer Leadership
The Peer Leadership Program allows seniors to serve and minister to our Marist students and teachers. Seniors enrolled in this program work and serve in a classroom setting under the guidance and direction of various subject-area instructors to assist teachers and students in the learning process. In addition, the program requires enrolled seniors to attend two classes per month instructed by the Peer Leadership Coordinator in which they will learn valuable leadership skills and executive function skills rooted in our Christian faith. This program is truly an opportunity for seniors to put their faith into action through service and learn skills that will assist them on their journey as faith-filled disciples and prepared leaders for the future.
Understanding the Call to Discipleship:
Community Service
This program is designed to provide the Marist senior with the opportunity to put his or her faith into action through service to others outside the Marist community. Each student is asked to give several hours of service each school week at his or her assigned place of service. Each service site provides the student with the opportunity to become actively involved with the people there and to learn about a particular ministry. The various areas of service widen the student’s perspective of humanity, inviting and challenging the student to bring forth Gospel values in himself or herself and others.
