“Whatsoever you do for the least of my people; All of us are called to serve. We are called to this life of service by Jesus Christ Himself. This call is reiterated again and again throughout the Scriptures, and through numerous Church documents. Pope John Paul II challenged each of us to be active in our families, Church and communities by working for justice to achieve peace. Each of our students at Nolan Catholic is called to serve. One way in which we answer this call is through the Christian Ministry program. In this way, we share our time and talents with the Church and community. |
