Ministry Theme

Each summer, Totino-Grace student ministers select a theme for the school year. The theme for the 2026-2027 school year is: Reach Up & Reach Out.

Each summer, our student ministers gather together to pray, discern and select our Ministry Theme for the upcoming school year. The theme is meant to highlight a specific aspect of the Church’s teachings that we will incorporate into our retreats, liturgies and spiritual formation. The theme is also a way for us to connect with the spirituality and charisms of our founders, the Christian Brothers and the School Sisters of Notre Dame. 

Reach Up calls us to fix our gaze on God; to remain open to God’s presence, to grow in faith, and to recognize that we are continually invited into deeper relationship with Him.

Reach Out calls us beyond ourselves; to notice our neighbors, especially those who may be on the margins, to cross boundaries and step beyond what is familiar using our gifts in service of one another.
