During their four years at Archbishop Quigley, our students are challenged to be competent individuals, stretching to be the best they can be. They are encouraged to be men of hope and activists in life. They are invited to live committed to the Quigley community, which is the primary focus of our formation program. Our commitment to scripture, sacrament, and service, and our concern for the issues of competence, complacency, and community are the hallmarks of our Formation Program.

Our Goals:

- We seak to have the students develop the ability to bring scripture to their lived experience.
- We seek to have students develop a sense of the sacred in their lives.
- We seek to develop a spirit of altruism, an other-centeredness in our students.

Components of the Formations Program:

Formation Groups: Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet weekly in small groups with one of the priest or lay religious faculty members to be challenged and guided by him in the areas of prayer, service, spirituality, and vocation.

Spiritual Direction: As a student matures in senior year, he is assigned a Spiritual Director with whom he meets on a monthly basis for a full class period. Spiritual Direction is a time for adult discussion and offers the student a chance to see and discover where God's spirit is leading him.

Retreats and Days of Renewal: Each class makes at least one yearly retreat led by our own faculty. Days of renewal and other Formation Seminars are held throughout the year.

Priest Sponsors: Every student has a priest sponsor who helps him to explore the possibility of priesthood.

Liturgy: Weekly community liturgies, and prayer services, as well as seasonal celebrations of the sacrament of reconciliation, support and celebrate our students' relationship with their God.

Service: As an integral part of the junior year program, all students must commit to 50 hours of apostolic service outside the school community. The service component is further developed in Senior Ministry. This program allows our seniors to experience first-hand what it means to be "men of service" while working with others at our ministry sites.
