Peer ministry team
St. Thomas Aquinas university parish
catholic Campus Ministry, University of Arkansas
Application for the 2011-2012 Peer Ministry Team
The Peer Ministry Team (PMT) at St. Thomas Aquinas University Parish represents
Catholic students at the University of Arkansas and Catholic Campus Ministry as an
official Registered Student Organization. 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.
The 2011-2012 Peer Ministry Team will consist of approximately 12 members. These
leaders will offer particular leadership in the areas of Faith, Service and Outreach. In
addition to planning and leading campus ministry events and activities, PMT members
are obligated to attend two monthly meetings – one together in council, the other in
smaller subcommittees. PMT leaders are also required to attend a one-day planning
retreat which will be scheduled for August 2011.
If interested in serving on next year’s Peer Ministry Team, please email your application
to Laurie Schuler (stthomascm@yahoo.com) by Wednesday, April 6.
