There is a very serious side to Campus Ministry seen by Maria Villegas as the class listens attentively to the notes given. Campus Ministry: Alive With Spirit Campus Ministry was a semester class that planned all St. Joseph Masses and weekly liturgies. They also provided strength in the students' spiritual life. Ms. Averill was the dedicated Campus Ministry teacher who did so much for the school to strengthen faith. She planned food drives, unity nights, retreats, and many other service projects. During a semester Campus Ministry class students learned the order and meaning of everything in the Mass. They also learned all rites and sacraments min- istered in the Catholic faith. The Campus Ministry class then applied all they had learned to plan the St. Joseph liturgies. They tried to create an atmosphere that was spiritually uplifting and appropriate to each Mass. Their goal was for the St. joseph community to feel closer to each other and to God. 65
