Spiritual Life
We are all members of a faith community. Students, faculty and parents are called to live and practice their faith in Jesus Christ. We are all called to pray, serve, and love one another as God loves us.
Our Religion Program recognizes the uniqueness of each child, and instills in them a sense of belonging to family, school, church and community.
The Gospel message of Jesus Christ is infused throughout the curriculum and into all aspects of the students’ lives.
Students learn firsthand how to live a life of service to God by participating in school wide community service projects that extend to local organizations as well as to the greater global community.
At all grade levels, students develop knowledge of Sacred Scripture, Sacraments, Catholic Doctrine, Liturgy and Worship.
