Faith & Service

Our students set a strong moral compass in a rapidly changing world

Together, the Theology curriculum and our Campus Ministry program enrich the inner life of each student and provide a strong moral compass in the face of a rapidly changing world.

Students help plan and participate in monthly all-school liturgies and prayer services, where our community joins together in prayer to share our Catholic faith, and annual class retreats offer dedicated time for reflection, meditation and spiritual growth.

Theology studies provide students with a solid understanding of Catholic teaching and a deepening appreciation for their faith in relationship with God and others. In light of Cornelia Connelly’s vision of educating the whole person, we support intellectual growth and faith development.

In tandem with Christian service, retreats and worship, Mayfield strives to foster a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ. The Theology curriculum is in accordance with Catholic teaching and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Campus Ministry

Under the guidance of our Campus Minister, Teri Gonzales, Mayfield students experience their faith with a joyful spirit, learning that teenagers can serve as disciples of Christ in profoundly meaningful ways.
 

The work of Campus Ministry is at the heart of Mayfield’s Holy Child mission “to help others to believe that God lives and acts in them and in our world, and to rejoice in the divine presence.” Campus Ministry leaders are also involved in planning retreats, the annual Cornelia Connelly Day of Service and other Christian service efforts.

Service

Service to others is an integral part of a Mayfield Senior School education. By adopting the values of awareness and compassion, students develop a sense of social responsibility to the larger community and a lifelong commitment to helping others. Ultimately, they learn to live out the school’s motto, “Actions Not Words.”
