About Paraclete High School
Ministry
The Office of Campus Ministry aims at helping students develop their own identity as individuals who have been endowed with a spiritual component that needs attention and nurturance. It offers opportunities for spiritual growth by promoting fellowship, liturgical celebrations, Christian counseling and charitable service to the civil community. The salient activities of this office are the celebration of the sacraments as a school community and the retreats program by class level. Students may be asked to take a direct involvement in the activities of this office by helping as liturgy planners and/or team leaders.
Retreats
There are special days during the school year which are dedicated to a deeper encounter with the Lord. The Senior class will be given the opportunity to spend two days at a retreat center. The rest of the student body is required to participate in a day of recollection by class level on the date designated by the school.
Christian Service
All Students attending Paraclete are required to be involved in the Christian Service Program as a practical expression of their Christian commitment. Each Freshman and Sophomore at Paraclete High School is expected to complete either two service projects or 10 service hoursfor each semester. Juniors and Seniors are expected to complete three service projects or 15 service hours per semester. It is the students responsibility to fulfill this requirement in accord with the Guidelines for Christian Service that are enclosed in the registration packet. Students must complete and hand in the hours on the appropriate forms, and by the deadlines indicated by the program. A Pass or Fail notation will appear on the semester report card and transcript. Parents should take notice that service done at home, which is part of the ordinary duty of a child to his/her family, will not receive credit.
