Liturgy gives expression to and celebrates the life and faith of the school community. It confirms, deepens, and extends the life and faith that is present in our school. Liturgies and para-liturgies are celebrated throughout the year for various holidays, holy days and special school functions that call for a worship ritual. Liturgies are planned by students from the Campus Ministry Committee of the Student Activities Council. Effort is always made to involve as many students as possible throughout the school year.
All students are welcome to serve.
Student-centered liturgies are our goal. Pastors from the parishes in the tri-county area preside at our liturgies. They act as our chaplains, since St. Mary's Ryken does not have an assigned chaplain. They also serve on retreats as well as offering our students the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Advent and Lent. The richness of their talents and gifts are an important part of the spiritual education of our students.
