Religious Activities
Our school is committed to
maintaining a strong Catholic
identity. Our students attend mass weekly, participate in
prayer services, recite the rosary together, and pray the
Stations of the Cross during Lent. In addition, students in
the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades participate in retreats.
Community service is
emphasized. Students participate
in various service projects, such as collecting food and
clothing for the St. Vincent dePaul Society, raising money
for the Red Cross and St. Jude's Children's Research
Hospital, and gathering needed items for the Little Sisters of
the Poor.
