Campus Ministry - VERITAS
Campus Ministry exists for students, faculty and staff. Through retreats, sacramental experiences, service opportunities, prayer experiences, peer ministry, and spiritual counseling, the campus ministry program strives to unite the students, faculty and staff in building up a faith community that proclaims and lives the Gospel values and celebrates together the presence of God among us and in our local community.
VERITAS is not a club, but a Campus Ministry team of Sophomores, Juniors & Seniors that commit themselves to fulfilling a specific covenant they have created to fit the Spiritual needs of our school community. Along with 5 other Mission San Jose Dominican High Schools we commit ourselves to the ideals of Mother Pia & St. Dominic in our search for Truth together by living our Christian Leadership skills we learned at our MSJ Campus Ministry Retreat. The Campus Ministry Team goes through an intense screening process and must maintain academic standards mentioned above. The screening process includes an application, essay, recommendation and interview. Acceptance is based on GPA, involvement in their faith life, ability to commit and share their time and talents with SGMHS, as well as a strong desire to serve, lead and love as Disciples of Christ. The students function as the Campus Ministry team under the leadership of the Director of Campus Ministry

Members are required to contribute 15 hours of service in one or more areas dealing with issues being addressed. The group focuses on promoting a consistent ethic of life from conception to death on and off campus.
