In December 2012, 25 juniors and seniors were commissioned to serve as Peer Ministers for the remainder of the school year.
These Peer Ministers act as leaders in faith and service for the Ursuline community. They plan and lead prayer services and retreats for younger students and also participate in community service. Each December the group volunteers at Christmas in the City, a special holiday event to help the homeless in Boston.
During the special commissioning ceremony, the Peer Ministers light candles that symbolize the light they will bring to the Ursuline community and receive pins in the shape of the Cross to wear on their blazers. Watch a video of this year's Peer Minister Commissioning:
