Spiritual Formation
The spiritual formation of our students is one of the primary objectives at Holy Redeemer - St. James Catholic School. Religious formation occurs daily and motivation toward true Christian living is incorporated into all activities including appropriate participation and conduct during Mass and other liturgies. Students attend Mass and various other liturgical activities throughout the year (e.g., Stations of the Cross, Feast Day Processions, Benediction, etc.). Each year, classes participate in class Masses/prayer services, retreats and service projects as a part of their religious education and moral formation.
Parents also play a vital role in the spiritual formation of their children. Parents are primarily responsible for the religious education of their children and need to demonstrate the importance of faith to their children by means of weekly Mass attendance (or other religious services if the family is not Catholic), regular participation in the sacrament of reconciliation, and daily prayer as a family.
