Campus Ministry
Growing in Faith. Living with Purpose.
At Marquette Academy, faith is an important part of who we are. Campus Ministry provides opportunities for students to grow in their relationship with God, strengthen their faith and put Christian values into action. Through prayer, Mass, retreats, service and shared experiences, students are encouraged to make faith a meaningful part of their everyday lives.
Faith Across Our Campuses
Elementary School
Faith begins at an early age at Marquette. Elementary students attend Mass every Friday, plus a monthly All-Academy Mass with the high school, giving them time each week to come together in prayer and worship. Our priests also make regular visits to campus, helping students build connections with their faith and the Church.
High School
High school students have opportunities to make faith part of their daily routine, with optional Mass offered four times each week. Students also come together for a monthly All-Academy Mass, bringing our school community together in prayer and celebration.
Time to Step Away and Grow
Retreats give students the opportunity to pause from their busy schedules, reflect on their faith and build stronger relationships with God and one another. Each grade level participates in a retreat designed for students at that stage of their journey.
The senior retreat is a special three-day experience, giving graduating students time to reflect on their years at Marquette, deepen their faith and prepare for the next chapter of their lives.
Marquette also offers a Women's Retreat, creating an additional opportunity for reflection, fellowship and spiritual growth.
Living Our Faith Beyond the Classroom
Faith is more than what we learn—it is something we are called to live. Marquette students have opportunities to take part in experiences that deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith and connect them with the larger Church community.
These experiences include:
Pro-Life Pilgrimage: Students have the opportunity to participate in a pilgrimage that encourages reflection, prayer and the importance of respecting and protecting all human life.
Faith in Our Diocese: Students recently traveled to Peoria to take part in the celebration surrounding the beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, an inspiring opportunity to experience an important moment in the life of our diocese and the Catholic Church.
A Faith That Grows With Us
From Friday Mass in elementary school to high school retreats and opportunities to live out their faith beyond campus, students are encouraged to grow spiritually at every stage of their Marquette journey.
At Marquette Academy, we're not just preparing students for what comes next. We're helping them build a foundation of faith that will stay with them for a lifetime.
