Additional Practices
All students participate in either a weekly Friday Mass or Eucharistic Prayer Service if no priest is available. In addition students participate in paraliturgical celebrations throughout the year celebrating the feast of the season such as May Crowning, Advent Wreath Blessing, Distribution of Ashes, Stations of the Cross etc.
As a Catholic school it is understood that a family’s weekly attendance at liturgy provides a tremendous opportunity for community and faith building in a Christ-centered environment. It is therefore essential to our mission as Catholic educators, in partnership with parents for the Catholic education of our children, that families attend Liturgy on a regular basis. As the primary religious educators of their children, parents are encouraged to consistently follow through on this most serious obligation. As a school with few students from our parish, we encourage families to attend these liturgies in their home parishes. In addition, we recognize a significant percentage of our student body is non-Catholic and encourage those families to participate as prescribed within the precepts of their faith tradition.
