How will the school meet
my child's spiritual needs? To nurture the spiritual dimension of our
students, class Masses are held monthly and our eighth graders participate
in a retreat program to deepen their prayer experiences and sharing of
faith. Students have a daily religion class, but more importantly faculty
and students live out the Gospel values in their daily lives in their
respect for each other and in their awareness of and concern for those less

such as Thanksgiving baskets, Toys for Tots, and Operation Rice Bowl.
The students' individual parishes remain an active part of their spiritual
lives.
