The Campus Ministry Department empowers students in the areas of service, retreat and prayer. Throughout the school year students plan, conduct and generously support Thanksgiving, Christmas and Lenten collections. Students may also participate in a variety of service opportunities. Day retreats are offered at the freshman and sophomore level. Juniors are required to attend an overnight retreat at LaSalle Manor Christian Brothers Retreat Center in Plano, IL. Seniors may attend the nationally recognized Kairos Retreat. All-school liturgies provide celebrations of Holy Days of Obligation, as well as major school events throughout the year.

Nazareth Academy students live our pillar of unity as a reflection of the CSJ charism ‘that all may be one.’ By celebrating our faith through service, worship, and retreats, Nazareth students build relationships with our dear neighbors, become agents of inclusivity and hospitality, and live as Christ taught us to live, as servant leaders.”

ATHLETICS
Will Beargie ‘23, Clarendon Hills Middle
The best part of football is the bonds you make while playing. You start as strangers working hard everyday to get better, then quickly you form a bond that lasts long after the season is over. The coaches always push you to your best and the teammates are always there if you need a hand, or to celebrate your victories. There is nothing like the Friday Night Lights and seeing your school cheering you on.”
Nazareth is committed to athletic and academic excellence while integrating learning and competition with Christian values and faith. While we take great pride in the continued success of our student-athletes at the conference, regional and state levels, we always keep an eye on the bigger picture. Win and loss records mean nothing if our athletic programs are not helping to develop more respectful, kind, faith-filled and service-oriented student-athletes. This process is best accomplished within the Nazareth framework of Scholarship, Service, Spirit and Unity.
