Altar Servers ​

Students are invited and encouraged to participate in altar serving for Visitation Parish. Altar server training begins in the 3rd grade. Students provide altar service at weekend liturgies, weddings, funerals, and school liturgies.

Reconciliation Services

Visitation School provides the Sacrament of Reconciliation for students. Additionally, sacramental prep for the celebration of First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation for 2nd graders is also provided. Reconciliation Services are scheduled once during Advent season and once during the Lenten season for the school community.

Sacramental Preparation

Sacramental preparation comprises part of the religious curriculum in 2nd grade, but is available to students of all grade levels as needed. Parents of students preparing for the sacraments of First Communion and First Reconciliation must participate in the Sacramental Preparation Program of the parish.

School Liturgy

Since religious education is an integral part of a child’s spiritual growth, the school provides liturgical celebrations involving the whole school. Other para-liturgical celebrations are held at various times throughout the school year.  

Student-Parish Choir

All students are invited to participate in the student/parish choir. Members of the choir may sing at school and/or parish liturgies.

Sunday Mass Attendance

As a Catholic school, it is recognized that there is no greater opportunity for parent- directed religious education than being present at the celebration of Saturday evening or Sunday Mass. It is essential to the school’s mission, and the partnership that the faculty and parents have, that Catholic families attend Mass on a regular basis. As the primary religious educators of their children, parents are expected to follow through consistently on this most serious obligation.
