Campus Ministry and Service
The Campus Ministry of Grand Island Central Catholic focuses on developing and supporting the faith life of our students, faculty, and staff. Campus Ministry prepares students to become more involved with their faith and parishes, and to minister to the needs of each other.

We celebrate Mass weekly throughout the year (all are welcome) and explore our Catholic faith within theology classes that involve religious discussion, music, service, and prayer. Students of all faiths are welcome and have the opportunity to join together in these experiences.
Literacy Council Tutoring
|
Our high school students have created a partnership with the Literacy Council of Grand Island to help with one-on-one English language tutoring. Just like the Literacy Council's motto: Teaching People Transforming Lives; our students are proud to provide help that will enable our neighbors to be successful in our community by learning, growing, and understanding new language skills.
