Two CHS Companions service groups left Western New York this weekend, traveling to serve communities in need.
 
In the CHS Companions Program, juniors respond to the Ignatian call to service via immersion trips.
 
The groups departed for Montana (Thursday) and Maine (today).
 
Accompanying the students to Montana are Director of Campus Ministry Fr. Charles Frederico, S.J., and Campus Minister Dr. Joe Amuso; the Maine group is led by math teacher Anne Lipp-Read and Dean’s Office Manager Maria Pieroni.
 
Canisius students have also participated in immersion trips to Mexico, Puerto Rico, New Orleans, West Virginia and Virginia during recent school years. There are additional trips in the winter and spring.
 
In the Companions program, each student is invited to grow in self-knowledge through an experience of service to and solidarity with the marginalized.
 
A personal encounter with communities and individuals bearing the weight of poverty, weakness and financial dependence challenges a young man to understand these conditions, while the companionship of this encounter affirms the goodness and potential implicit in his strengths.
 
Drawing upon four central components of community, spirituality, justice and simple living, Companions engages the Gospel message while challenging the student to embrace struggle and discomfort in an unfamiliar context. The program seeks to foster an ongoing desire to serve the needs of the other, coupled with a lifelong commitment to justice.
 
Students and families interested in the unique experiences offered through the CHS Campus Ministry program and the excellence of a Jesuit education at Canisius – ranked as Buffalo’s “Best Catholic School” by Business First – can learn more by scheduling an on-campus experience at canisiushigh.org/visit
 
This place is special. Let us show you why.
