Peer Ministry

Peer Ministry

 

"To become closer to one another we have to assist one another, but It starts from within"

Peer Ministers are 9th through 12th-grade students who are selected based on an in-depth application process. They help plan liturgies, facilitate retreats, engage in peer mentoring, and strive to live an example of faith-filled servant leadership. We build on the community to ensure we all are finding ways to serve our lord. With Mass, Retreats, or special gatherings, we make sure we all are in

. We move to guide one another and keep peace within ourselves. Our mission is to lead with Faith and guide with love. Peer Ministry will continue to bring god close to everyone's everyday life.

Liturgy & Community Worship

Mass

Here at Archbishop Carroll Community,  we are forever building on Faith & Love. At least once or twice a month our community participates in Mass. Mass is a chance and peaceful time to get closer to god. Reflection and also a place for peace of mind. We must continue this journey of faith and let god guide us to the connection. 

Our community works faithfully to accomplish the goal of connecting with God. Mass are ways to connect with one another, embrace, and encourage!
