WELCOME TO CAMPUS MINISTRY AND THE OFFICE OF THE CHAPLAIN

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allentown Central Catholic proudly puts Christ at the center of her mission and identity in assisting parents as the first educators of their children in the Faith. At Central, students experience Christ both in and out of the classroom, in faithfulness to the Magisterium, and served by teachers who seek to form the whole person in knowledge, virtue, and holiness.

 

The Chaplain’s Office and the Campus Ministry Department, in particular, exists to provide opportunities for our students to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ through the Sacraments, spiritual exercises, retreats, and service opportunities.

 

Students at ACCHS are blessed with the opportunity to attend daily Masses twice weekly before school in addition to our school-wide Masses twice monthly. Schoolwide Confessions are held three times a year and the Chaplain is available for Confessions by appointment. All students attend Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament monthly. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in our beautiful Chapel, and students are always welcome to make a visit to spend some time in prayer or quiet reflection.

 

Students are required to make two retreats a year, fulfilled by attending our yearly Forty Hours and their class retreats. There are also other engaging retreat opportunities throughout the year. More information about the retreat requirement can be found in the student handbook. Students are also called to serve Christ in the poor and their fellow man through service opportunities. The service hours requirement is explained more in the ACCHS Student Handbook.

 

Please never hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions! The students are always welcome in the Chaplain’s Office and Campus Ministry. We are here to support them in any way we can.

 

Praised be Jesus Christ! Now and forever!
