Our students, through lea​​dership programs and youth ministry, Pastoral Programs and community service, experience advocacy and mercy through programs o​​f Social Justice.

Each term we support a different mission, through fundraising activities, donations and the profits from the sale of milkshakes, coffees and hot chocolates at Saint's Café. This gives students the opportunity to gain an understanding of the importance of justice and mercy worldwide, while also discovering ways to serve others in a voluntary capacity.
