PMT members are the leaders of our faith community, helping to envision, execute and invigorate our ministries. PMT reps must be faithful, prayerful Catholics willing to take a leadership role in St. Thomas ministries. The team will work closely with the pastor and the campus ministry staff to embody the six principles of campus ministry put forth by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: forming the faith community, appropriating the faith, forming the Christian conscience, educating for justice, facilitating personal development, and developing leaders. </p><p>The 2017-2018 Peer Ministry Team will offer particular leadership in the areas of Faith, Service, and Community. In addition to planning and leading campus ministry events and activities, PMT members are required to attend monthly meetings with their team. PMT leaders are also required to attend fall and spring planning retreats to prepare for the semester. </p><p>If interested in serving on next year’s Peer Ministry Team, please email your application to Adam Koehler ([email protected]) or Juliane Pierini ([email protected]).</p><p>Name: ______Email: ______</p><p>2017/18 Academic Year: ______Cell phone:______</p><p>Short Essay Responses (1-2 paragraphs for each question):</p><p>1.
