  • Altar Servers - assist in setting up for school liturgies, serving the Priest during school Masses, and occasionally travel to serve for Archbishop Rodi for various Masses during the school year. 
  • Men of St. Joseph - every Wednesday at 7:15 AM in Campus Ministry, all young men are invited to join for a reading of the upcoming Sunday's Gospel, spend several minutes in discussion of the Gospel and to pray the Litany of Saint Joseph together. The group closes out the morning with ping pong and donuts. 
  • Women of Virtue -  on Monday Mornings in Mrs. Lawson's room (7217) any young woman is invited to join for coffee, faith devotional, and discussion. 
  • First Friday Mass - on the first Friday of every month, all students are invited to join us at St. Mary's Church for daily Mass at 7:15 AM! 
  • Praise, Worship, and Adoration - join us at select times throughout the year in worship of our Lord before or after school! 
  • Legion of Mary - The Junior Legion of Mary at McGill-Toolen strives to take up the Lord's call to personal holiness. Our mission promotes daily prayer, weekly meetings, and spiritual works of mercy around our campus in union with Mary, our mother. They meet every Monday after school in Toolen 7219 (Mr. Williams' classroom) at 3:10 PM
  • Monthly Guys Night - a ministry run by Mr. Krause (McT Campus Ministry) and Fr. Patrick Gilbreath (Vocations Director, Archdiocese of Mobile) and Mr. Andrew Thompson (St. Ignatius Youth Minister) - once a month any young man (Freshmen - Senior) is invited to join us for Guys Night. Nights are held at the Frassati Youth Center on St. Ignatius' campus. A typical Guys Night begins with free dinner at 7 PM, followed by time for fellowship (yard games, pool, ping pong, cards, watching any live sporting event, basketball, kanjam, etc. This is followed by a rosary in the Adoration Chapel, and a brief check-in and spiritual encouragement. Guys are invited to lean into a monthly challenge centered in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving for the month. The goal of this ministry is to form a community of young men who learn to be Christian leaders and disciples, and who seek holiness daily as they prepare to move into the next phases of life: college, married life, priesthood, workforce, etc.  
  • McT Respect Life Club -  Each year the group joins in the prayer and fasting campaign 40 Days for Life and attends the National March for Life in Washington DC. We're excited to be planning more events that serve the poor and vulnerable in our community for the coming year. Stay tuned!
