Women of Faith

Women of Faith Guided by our motto, “Not Words, But Deeds,” Presentation students are encouraged to become women of faith. Faith development at Presentation stems from Catholic social teaching, which emphasizes the dignity of every human person and the recognition of being created in the image of God. To that end, our curriculum and co-curricular activities provide opportunities for our students to seek, understand and deepen their faith. In approaching this mission, we embrace all faith traditions and value the diversity of our community.

Campus Ministry With over 100 students participating as peer ministers, the Campus Ministry department is the center of the faith community at Pres. Open to students of all faith traditions, peer ministers lead class-level retreats, plan school liturgies and coordinate prayer services. Peer ministers also serve as lectors, altar servers, musicians and Eucharistic ministers.

Celebrations of Faith Throughout the school year, the Presentation community comes together in prayer to celebrate our faith. These events are the heart of our spiritual life on campus. Masses include our Opening Liturgy, Parish Day, the Feast of the Presentation and Holy Week. Prayer services are held during Advent, Lent and May Day. Students from all faiths are invited to lead the community in prayer and celebrations.

Class Level Retreats At Presentation, we believe in giving students time to stop in their busy lives, reflect on their faith and build community with their peers. Campus Ministry offers retreats yearly for each class level to support students in deepening their faith life. Retreats include small group activities, class bonding, faith sharing and personal reflection. Retreats are open to and enriched by students of all faith traditions. Retreats are free for all students.

Chloe Zhou ’17, Secondary Education, Boston College

“To me, faith isn’t something that can be found or taught, tested and then graded. It is something that I had to develop personally through my experiences and figure out for myself— in terms of what I believe and how I should put that faith into action. Pres didn’t just teach the Church’s doctrines; the school and its faculty offered amazing opportunities or self-reflection, discovery, questioning, and critical thinking— allowing me to grow and decide for myself what faith means to me.”
