Campus Ministry

Meets twice a month, immediately after school, as a whole group. Smaller group meetings vary.


Each meeting will consist to some degree of the following:

Praying with and for the Ministry Team, as well as the school community
Preparation for upcoming school liturgies
Learning about an aspect of the way the Church prays
Building comradery in the Team

If a student is interested in joining, they are asked to meet with Mr. Kozeniewski to indicate their interest in joining and why. If the student is Catholic, they are also encouraged to be a part of their parish’s liturgical life, not only by fulfilling their weekly obligation to Sunday Mass but by assisting their parish priest with Sunday Mass. Non-Catholics are welcome to join as well!

At Pope John Paul II High School, students are invited to strengthen their faith and grow in their understanding of Scripture through our Bible Study program. Freshmen and sophomores gather in a dedicated study that helps them explore the foundations of faith and build lasting friendships within their class community. Juniors and seniors meet in a separate group focused on connecting God’s Word to real-life choices, challenges, and experiences of young adulthood.

In partnership with the Walking With Purpose Bible Study at St. Eleanor Parish, we also offer Sisters of Strength, an all-girls Bible Study that encourages students to deepen their relationship with God while growing in friendship, faith, and confidence as beloved daughters of Christ.

Meets every other month after school.

Sophomore Faith Sharing Small Groups provide students with a space to grow together in faith and friendship. Meeting weekly during their lunch period, sophomores have the opportunity to share openly about their lives, their joys, their struggles, and how God is at work in their daily experiences. These small groups foster authentic community, reflection, and spiritual growth during a formative year of high school.

Named after Karol Wojtyla, the name Pope John Paul II was known by before his papacy, the Wojtyla Wilderness Club follows in the footsteps of Pope John Paul II by taking students into nature to pray and appreciate the beauty of God's creation. The club meets once a month from September to November and again from March to May.

Catholic Athletes for Christ is a national group focused on serving Catholic athletes and spreading the Gospel through sports. At PJP, they meet monthly after school in the Campus Ministry Office. The group explores living the Catholic faith through sports themes. Meetings include videos, discussions, and Scripture readings. All are invited to join Team Jesus, with the shared goal of reaching heaven.
