Spotlighting a Member of Our Community: Rebecca Levis

As the first Campus Minister at Saint Martin de Porres High School, Rebecca Levis created the model for our campus ministry program and established high expectations for how the program should be incorporated into our curriculum and our community. Working with the VP of Mission, Ms. Levis developed the service-learning component of our curriculum to ensure that our students become bound to their local and global communities develop a sense of empathy and responsibility for one another.  

Throughout her seven years working at Saint Martin Ms. Levis has shown courage and leadership. Ms. Levis moderated the first social justice extracurricular activities and clubs at Saint Martin and helped to fully integrate faith and spiritual development into the life of our school. Ms. Levis worked diligently throughout the first year of our school to create a community of caring aligned with the Seven Key Themes of Catholic Social Teaching. 

The number of students participating in service-learning projects and social justice clubs and activities has increased each year as a natural result of the work by Ms. Levis to create a Campus Ministry program that reflects the diverse religious beliefs and values of our students. Ms. Levis’ contributions to the Saint Martin community have contributed to our school curriculum and culture and help the students at Saint Martin reach their potential – intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually.
