In His Footsteps A unique aspect of Fenwick is its re- ligious program. A Catholic school, Fenwick offers opportunities for and encourages the spiritual involvement of each student, A major force is this effort is the Religious Committee which meets and organizes events through the Campus Ministry. Students and faculty work as a team promoting the overall spiritual life here. The Religious Committee also coordinates school liturgies, pen- ance services and advent programs. Service through the curriculum is readily available for students and is an important part of the work of Cam- pus Ministry. After three years of class- room religion co.urses, students are encouraged to chose from two unique eleotives. The first is Apostolic Service which allows students to take the knowledge acquired in class and apply it to community services. Students are required to volunteer their time at places like the North Shore Children ' s Hospital, the House of Seven Gables Settlement House, and the Hunt Nursing Home. In the other course. Proclaiming the Good News, students teach CCD in their own parish program each week. Both academic courses provide wonder- ful opportunities for students to live out Christian beliefs and apply the knowledge of the Faith learned in the classroom. Fenwick students reach out to diverse groups in the larger commu- nity by feeding the hungry, providing for the needy, comforting the sick and raising money for certain chari- ties. Campus Ministry encourages and plans such activities both within the school and the community. Co- director of the Religious Committee, Ms. Elizabeth Sullivan sums up the work of the Campus Ministry very well by saying, Campus Ministry tries to deal with and relate to the whole per- son — the mind learning about the faith, the heart developing a growing feeling of sensitivity, and the hands — what we have learned being carried out into the community.
