Campus Ministry

Every aspect of the school reflects our commitment to "act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with God." (Micah 6:8) May this be a year in which we see the ordinary miracles every day.

About Campus Ministry

Campus Ministry promotes a Catholic Christian environment within the school community, reflecting not only gospel values but the philosophy and mission of the Sisters of Mercy as well.   Responsibilities include:

• planning and implementing of seven whole school liturgies and prayer services, as well as special events for each class: freshmen parent mass, sophomore ACTS service, junior ring ceremony, baccalaureate for graduating seniors
• coordinating of communal prayer opportunities such as morning prayers on the PA, faculty/staff meeting prayers, team and/or group prayers, prayers before every school meeting
• coordinating of outreach ministry to whole community
• serving as liaison between the wider church, through the school chaplain, local pastors and/or archdiocesan offices
• being available for pastoral counseling, spiritual companioning and community building activities
• coordinating and implementing celebration of Catholic Schools Week in conjunction with archdiocese

Our campus ministry program is committed to the words of St. Paul, "You have been called to look after something precious. Guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in you." … that “something precious” is the spiritual growth and development of the whole AHS community.

Freedom to be… allegiance to self, community, God… Integrity matters… taking care of the possible and Trusting God with the impossible… hope even in the darkest times…

Campus Ministry here at Assumption encourages and assists students, faculty and staff to grow personally during their years here. Assumption is the only school in Louisville that has a four-year program of overnight retreats; this means students can go as freshmen!

Required and elective theology classes broaden and deepen understanding of personal spirituality as well as Catholic tradition. Service is integral to the community; the Class of 2006 logged 42,837 hours of service. Three optional mission trips, truly life changing events, are open to seniors every year. 

Additionally, the community gathers for worship to begin each year, to end each year, on feast days and holidays, and other meaningful times to praise and thank our Creator God for all our blessings. We are committed to living our FAITH.
