Student Leadership Application

Thank you for your interest in Tulane Catholic's STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM!

Being a part of SLT is an exciting opportunity to continue to grow in your faith and lead your peers closer to Christ! 

The Student Leadership Team or SLT (Salt) is for students who want to be the Salt of the Earth. What does this mean? SLT members should first and foremost be in love with Christ and His Church, and from that love be committed to sharing the Gospel with their fellow students. SLT is drawn to Christ and draws others to Christ in every aspect of their lives - not only by planning events! Planning events is important to our mission, but SLT’s prime goal is to manifest the love of God in their lives and invite others to share in that grace.

Please understand: we don’t expect perfection from you!  None of us are without sin (except Jesus and Mary). SLT members strive for virtue and goodness and recognize the responsibility and joy of leading people to Jesus. Christ is present in our growth and our past failures! SLT members should seek the grace of the sacraments regularly to continually grow and strive for sainthood. The beauty of the Church and her saints is that we are all sinners transformed by the power of grace!

If the Spirit is tugging on your heart as you’ve read this, please read the SLT commitments below and fill out the application!

God Bless!
