Mission: Our biggest goal is to teach marksmanship and gun safety.  Our secondary goal is to have fun and be competitive in our league. 

 

What We Do: We compete in 1A Conference 6 which is composed of the largest 6 SQUADS in the state, in both spring and fall leagues.  Our coaches are 100% parents of current or graduated students (even though it would be nice to have a teacher that could help with communications).  Mrs George and Mrs Blackwell are a tremendous resource for the team.  Students also sell raffle tickets and work a sporting clays shoot for the Wichita Area Builders Association to earn scholarships that go to cover their expenses. 

 

Meetings: All of our shooting activities occur at Ark Valley Gun Club at 117^th North and Oliver.  We shoot on Tuesday Evenings and Saturday afternoons during the seasons.

Purpose: God Squad is a group of young men and women who desire to strive in their spiritual life with the same intensity as some students strive in sports, band, theater or other extracurricular activities.

 

What We Do: During Lent and through the first week of Easter students gather in the auditorium from 6:45-7:30am to go through various spiritual exercises. Every day includes Morning Prayer and then another spiritual exercise like the Rosary, Mass, Stations of the Cross, Spiritual reading, etc. Students may earn a varsity letter by participating at the varsity level for 2 years.

 

LITURGY CLUB

Sponsor: Fr. Sam Brand

What They Do: Liturgy Club serves the spiritual and liturgical life of the Bishop Carroll community.

Liturgy Club Mass Teams coordinate the planning of and the preparation for Holy Mass and other liturgies that are held in the AC, Cave or in the Madonna Chapel. These teams help create a sacred space where the Bishop Carroll community may gather for the Holy Eucharist and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

Lectors assist during Holy Mass by proclaiming the word of God.  These young men and women must be truly qualified and carefully prepared for this office, so that the faithful will develop a warm and lively love for Sacred Scripture from listening to the reading from the sacred texts.

Altar Servers assist during Holy Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

The Servi Madonnae Eucharistiae serve the people of God through their knowledge in the sanctuary, their servant leadership in the community and their devotion in prayer.

Training for Mass teams, lectors and servers are held at the beginning of the semester.
