Campus Ministry

Religion classes, weekly prayer services, monthly Masses and class retreats are methods in which spirituality is explored at Blanchet Catholic School. Blanchet Catholic School's Chapel of Saint Patrick was dedicated on June 4, 2000. The addition of a beautiful and functional chapel was an important milestone in the growth of the school as an academic and spiritual home for its students, teachers, families and supporters. The Chapel of Saint Patrick honors the work of Father Charles Patrick Taaffe, whose community service to Salem and surrounding areas is legendary. An advocate for single, pregnant teenagers, Father Taaffe has founded three homes that offer refuge for these young women in need. Blanchet was blessed with a new chapel through the generous gift of Richard and Joanna Kreitzberg, who have been key supporters of Father Taaffe's work with young people in need, as well as generous benefactors of Blanchet.

The Blanchet community celebrates Mass together twice a month and all-campus prayer services organized by a student-led Spirituality Team are held at least once a month.

Mrs. Danielle Wise is Blanchet's Campus Minister. Mrs. Wise coordinates religious services and advises the student-led Spirituality Team.
