Marin Catholic has a vibrant spiritual life on and off campus. In addition to offering daily Mass, students participate in the ten all-school liturgies or Masses each year. The Campus Ministry Department offers students a chance for numerous leadership opportunities and guides students in the completion of their Christian Service outreach hours.
