Junior Retreat Leader Information and Application

Peer Ministry Leadership Team
Comprised of ten juniors and seniors, the Peer Ministry Leadership Team seeks to lead, inspire and invite the Notre Dame community to the experience of faith. Encouraged by the values of spirituality, community, and ministry, these young women will offer love, companionship and hospitality to the community, so that all can explore their spirituality with openness and encouragement. Interested students may apply for this executive level leadership experience in the Spring.

Gifts, Spirituality and Leadership
As a Religious Studies elective course and team-taught by Campus Ministers, this semester course explores a student’s potential for peer ministry. Students will learn the foundations of liturgical theology and retreat planning as well as the ministry skills needed to implement liturgies and retreats successfully. In the planning and implementation of one liturgical celebration and the Breakaway Days, students will develop an awareness of their own personal gifts, spirituality and leadership abilities in service of the community. Exploration of how these skills and experiences extend to other areas of student life will also be included. This course is required for any student wishing to serve as a retreat leader or liturgical planner. Students seeking to hold leadership positions on campus are highly encouraged to consider this course. Click here to read the GSL Overview for Fall 2006!
