Fr. ChaminadeThe renovation and revitalization of Chaminade College Preparatory’s Campus Ministry spaces at both campuses has begun.

At the middle school, Campus Ministry will move from its cozy, tucked away place behind the Student Center to a full classroom next to the library. Its new home will be at the center of activity, a fitting location for the heartbeat of Chaminade.

Campus Ministry at the high school will remain in is current location, but will be updated and refreshed. The well-loved area will be repainted, and new furniture and flooring will be installed. In addition, work and collaboration spaces will be added, along with new media equipment, and better storage.

These summer projects were made possible with the help of Chaminade Gala. Fund-a-need during Magical Journey raised more than $75,000 for the school’s Campus Ministry renovation project.
