Student Life
Campus Ministry
Rooted in the Gospel and modeled on the values of our patrons St. Francis de Sales and St. Francis of Assisi, Campus Ministry helps to foster the spiritual growth of the school community. Campus Ministers seek to walk with each student on her faith journey, encouraging continued discovery of God’s love.
While students encounter God in every classroom and interaction at 帕多瓦 Academy, Campus Ministry intentionally cultivates Christ-centered lives of 领导 and service. Campus Ministry programs include retreats, individual and communal prayer, shared liturgical celebrations, and opportunities to act as Christian witnesses.
帕多瓦 celebrates the charisms of both St. Francis of Assisi and St. Francis de Sales. Members of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales and the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia administered and staffed 帕多瓦 in its early years. Following in this tradition, 帕多瓦 strives to uphold the humble service of St. Francis of Assisi and the gentle strength of St. Francis de Sales.

祈祷
Love for prayer is evidenced in 帕多瓦's daily rhythm. 帕多瓦 engages in prayer as a community every day. 祈祷 begins every class, gathering, and activity to instill an ongoing relationship with God. -
礼拜仪式
As a Catholic community, 帕多瓦 regularly gathers to celebrate the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Whether through frequent prayer communion services or monthly Adoration, the Eucharist is at the heart of 帕多瓦's liturgical life. Students have an opportunity to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation alongside other 活动 throughout each liturgical season. -
Community Faith Life
帕多瓦 students, faculty, and staff frequently sing together the words "we are one body in Christ." This unity is reflected in opportunities for students to act as young women of faith. Experiences such as Famine, the Diocesan Pilgrimage, and the March for Life offer students an organized opportunity to play an active role in their faith. In addition to these annual 活动, the 帕多瓦 community embraces regular acts of service, spaces of prayer, and expressions of gratitude.
