T.A.U-Teens AboutUnderstanding
The TAU Cross, cherished by St. Francis of Assisi—the Patron Saint of our Campus Ministry Club—symbolizes peace. As members of TAU, students are encouraged to embrace Catholic Philosophy through meetings, prayer, and action. With the guidance of the Campus Minister, they will explore their calling to live fully in Christ.

Community Service Requirements
A key part of Bishop Brady's mission is the commitment to service. To support this, our Theology Curriculum includes a service component designed to foster a habit of giving and inspire a genuine change of heart. Through meaningful service, students are encouraged to connect personally with those they serve and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of giving of ourselves.
Our service projects focus on being personal and emphasize care for the poor and vulnerable, which are core principles of the Gospel.
Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, "I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."… The King will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Matthew 25: 35-36, 40

Service - Faith in Action
Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you. Deuteronomy 16: 17
Community service is a core part of Bishop Brady’s vision. We offer many opportunities for our students to engage in service. If community leaders are in need of volunteers, we encourage them to reach out to our Campus Minister.
Following the call of Jesus to serve, our students contribute thousands of service hours to a wide range of community-based organizations. They also step up with spontaneous acts of service during times of unexpected need.
