Liturgy & Sacraments
Faith is integrated throughout our school day. Through daily activities we learn more about Jesus’ special plan for us and those around us.
Every day we begin with prayer in the classroom. The liturgical season, Holy days, and holidays are incorporated at each developmental level, not only in prayer, but in special activities and projects. Students are welcome to add their own prayer petitions as we learn to pray for the needs of others.
Each week our students celebrate school liturgy on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 a.m. A different class, staff, or group of parents prepare the Mass with many ways included for student participation (lectors, greeters, gift bearers, petition readers, cantors, etc.). By also having staff and parents lead and prepare some of the Masses, students see adults active in their faith lives as role models. Weekly students attend adoration in the church and participate in a traveling Rosary (for intentions presented by families).
Every grade has a formal Religion class daily. We utilize the Our Sunday Visitor series which provides us with an integrated preschool through sixth grade program. First Reconciliation and First Communion are received in second grade. Each student is well prepared for those sacraments. During the seasons of Lent and Advent, individual confessions are offered to our students in grades 2-6.
