LIFE team brings new life to Campus Ministry

The 2024 LIFE team, an integral part of Riordan’s Marianist community, is leaving behind their legacy, and reminiscing on serving as campus ministry leaders.

Joshua Aguilar ’24 recalled, “Being a part of the life team took a lot of dedication, time and effort, but seeing everyone happy and growing in their faith made it worthwhile.”

From hosting MLCs and leading school masses, this year’s LIFE team has provided sanctuaries of fun, food, and faith for all.

As every year passes by, a new team of upcoming seniors will take their place, and with the fourth year of Riordan becoming coed, dynamics keep on changing. Leadership roles have started to diversify even further — the first female editor-in-chief for The Crusader, Naomi Lin ’24 was inaugurated last year, and the first solo female president, Caroline O’Connell ’25 was elected this year.

The 2023-2024 LIFE team had mainly consisted of males, with only one female.

Jaecee Cantiller ’24 looked back on this experience, stating that, “being the only girl on the LIFE team was tough at first…but over time I’ve come to see the rest of the team as family.”

She detailed that even though it was a challenge, she had overcome it, becoming comfortable with the group, “…to the point where I was given the nickname ‘mom’.”

In contrast, the 2024-2025 LIFE team is made up of mostly girls.

Jadine Aguilar ’25, a new inductee of the LIFE team, said, “I look forward to working with the new team and getting to know them so we can effectively achieve a common goal of bringing our Riordan community together.”
