Youth Ministry
Peer Ministry
Campus Ministry provides various holistic and transformative opportunities for students from the beginning of their student life until they graduate from Archbishop Riordan High School. The ministry aims to develop and share with the students the spirit of service, leadership, charity, and spiritual wellness based on the charism of Blessed Chaminade and guided by their mentors.
Crusader Mentors:
These young men and women guide and mentor students through their first year at Riordan during a retreat and at four additional meetings during the school year. The mentors check in with students to see how they are adjusting and to introduce them to the many Campus Ministry Youth Club opportunities available.
