Religious Education
For our students to grow in their
faith, religious instruction is useless unless it is followed in
and supported by the home environment. Therefore, as
parents you are a vital part of the overall process. Our part is
to offer each child the opportunity to come to know and love God
in the truest sense of the Word.
Our students are offered daily instruction in Catholic
Doctrine. The parish priests visit the classrooms regularly to
assist with religious education. Students attend Mass every
Wednesday and on holy days of obligation. First grade
students are paired with an 8th grade buddy that sits with them
and helps them through the weekly Mass. In addition, students
attend paraliturgical services throughout the year such as
Stations of the Cross during the Lenten season. The sacrament of
Reconciliation is offered to the students during Advent and
Lent. Opportunities for Christian service will be offered to all
of our students.
