Our emphasis on faith, family, and community is a thread that runs throughout everything we do. We understand that, accompanied with strong academic foundations, children also need and deserve strong foundations in the Catholic faith, morality, decision-making, and social justice.

Students explore our Catholic faith through lessons and activities in Scripture, sacraments, prayer, Church teachings, and morality. Below are just some of the daily, weekly and yearly traditions we participate in to integrate our Catholic faith.

Faith Daily:

• Every day begins with prayer
• Students pray when classes change, before lunch, and at the end of the day
• Religion classes are held daily at an age-appropriate level
• Students mark the seasons of the liturgical year, which are even reinforced daily in our Catholic daily planner for students

Faith Weekly:

• Students attend Mass every week and participate in the Holy Eucharist
• Every Friday at noon, the school children stop and pray the traditional noon prayer, the Angelus.  

Faith Yearly:

• Students pray the Rosary together as a school in October and May
• Our saint heroes are observed throughout the liturgical year
• Favorite Masses of the year include our back-to-school Mass, our patronal Mass honoring Saint Brigid, our Marian Masses, and our end-of-the-year Leadership Mass and Graduation Mass
