KAIROS
WHAT IS KAIROS?
Kairos is our daily 45-minute faith, prayer and study period. Freshmen Kairos is comprised of female- or male-only groups, giving them a chance to “learn the ropes” of Guerin Catholic together and build strong Kairos bonds. Our students attend Mass at least once per week with four additional opportunities during the week. Freshmen will meet their Kairos groups at Orientation in August.
Beginning sophomore year, Kairos is comprised of female- or male-only sophomore, junior and senior students. This gives students a chance to see leadership at all age levels and allows senior students to serve as mentors to their younger counterparts. Students stay with the same Kairos leader
(a faculty member) from sophomore through senior year, building a mentorship between teacher and student that is long lasting. Kairos also serve together in the community with an annual service day off-campus.
