Campus Ministry works hard to keep Christ at the center of Nouvel Catholic Central both inside and outside of the classroom.  Entering the hallway is to embrace a shared Catholic identity—the chapel, showcase exhibits or the statue of the Blessed Mother in the courtyard.

• Weekly Mass is celebrated each Wednesday for staff, students and parents.

Faith Retreats

As part of the NCC curriculum, students are offered a spiritual retreat each year.

Faith in Pastoral Presence

A chaplain, Father Steve Gavit, is available year-round for student needs.  The Most Reverend Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, celebrates Mass with students several times a year and is a frequent visitor.
                                                 
Nouvel offers a chapel for students, faculty and staff so they might have the opportunity to spend quiet time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament during the school day. Weekly Masses for the school community will be celebrated during the school year.
