Ministry & Faith

A Foundation Built on Dominican Values

While Regina Dominican High School is rooted in the Catholic Dominican tradition, we are open to students of all faiths. The Dominican value of veritas and our personal value of caritas, inspires our educational philosophy, from which students of all faiths can benefit.

Campus Ministry

Campus Ministry at Regina Dominican is grounded in Dominican spirituality and charism as inherited from the founders of the school, the Adrian Dominican Sisters. Guided by the Dominican motto Veritas (Truth), Regina Dominican’s  ministry program builds on the Four Pillars of Dominican life: Prayer, Study, Community, and Service. Combined with the school’s second motto of Caritas (Love or Compassion), each pillar works together to create a spiritually-rich faith foundation for our students.

Dominican Preachers

Dominican Preachers are students who are interested in taking a leadership role in Campus Ministry and faith formation. These students lead the Regina Dominican community by helping to plan daily prayer, liturgical celebrations, and service projects. Dominican Preachers put faith into action and exemplify Dominican values by preaching from the pulpit of their lives.

Retreats

A cornerstone of our Ministry, Faith, and Service commitments, we offer a retreat for each grade to build deeper relationships with their peers, reflect on their spirituality, and engage in service activities. Many of our students say these retreats are the highlight of their school year.

 

Retreats are opportunities for the students to personally experience and reflect on the four Dominican Pillars. Every year, students attend a retreat designed specifically for their grade level in collaboration with the Theology Department and the Director of Mission Integration. Retreats integrate curriculum content with opportunities for faith formation and spiritual reflection.

 

 

Here’s more information about the individual retreats.

The Freshman Retreat takes place the weekend after the first week of school in late August. It is an overnight retreat lasting Friday evening to early afternoon on Saturday and is focused on building community. 
The Sophomore Retreat is an overnight retreat (1 night) that takes place the second week of February. This retreat builds on themes covered in the Theology II course and focuses on finding the sacred in ordinary life and in relationships with others. The Sophomore Retreat includes a service activity. 
Two Kairos retreats are offered to Juniors during the third week in November and the week before Holy Week (late March/early April). Kairos is a three-day retreat, scheduled Wednesday morning to Friday evening, offering students the opportunity to focus on their relationship with God and others. 
In-HER-mission, the Senior Retreat, will take place the last weekend in September. This three-day overnight retreat is typically scheduled Thursday afternoon to Saturday morning. Senior students will work on creating an “inner” or "in-her” mission, an individual mission statement for their life journey.
