Abstract
It is my conjecture that we as campus ministers on the
staff of Mater Dei High School are called to provide more growth
opportunities for students struggling with problems related to
the fact that they are no longer part of "a traditional twoparent nuclear family." Under the aegis of campus ministry then,
I propose to establish a support group, or groups, which will
help "sustain troubled persons in, through, and beyond a plethora
of hurts that brook no direct restoration..." (Clebsch and Jaekle
quoted in Clinebell, p. 170) The ministry of healing and growth
should feel right at home on a Catholic high school campus. I
submit that small groups can provide supportive care and succor.
