Catholic values permeate the fabric of our school, which is grounded
in the religious education of each student. We continually nurture the
growth of each child and their relationship with God and the community.
The spirituality of the whole child is developed through prayer,
liturgy, and service. Spiritual formation revolves around the
litugical cycle. The students participate in School Masses, Class
Masses, daily prayer, reception of the Sacraments, and religious
programs to celebrate the liturgical seasons.
The religion curriculum is based on the four
pillars of our faith: creed, sacraments, morality, and prayer each
having priority topics for the appropriate grade level. Each grade
level has a set of prayers that the students must know.
Priority topics that are covered in each grade are:
