Students receive 30 – 45 minutes of formal
religious instruction daily.
The religion curriculum is designed so that
through consistent teaching, students will come to know
and understand scripture and the teachings of the
Catholic Church; experience a nurturing and loving
Christian community; learn to serve and reach out to
others in efforts toward peace and justice; and come
together in prayer and worship.
The pastor takes an active role in the
religious education of students who participate in
weekly Mass, which is usually on scheduled Tuesdays at
8:15 a.m.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated during
Advent and Lent.
Families are always invited to attend our school
liturgies.
Parents are also reminded of their responsibility to
make sure that their family attends weekly Mass
faithfully, to provide a Christian atmosphere in the
home, and to pray for their child/ren and all involved
in his/her education.
All students (boys and girls) in grades 4 to
8 have the
opportunity to become altar servers after a training
period.
Servers are also expected to assist at weekend
liturgies, funerals, and weddings.
Catholic beliefs and values are integrated in
all aspects of the school’s educational program.
Liturgical music
practice, devotions, and prayer services are scheduled
for all grades.
Prayers (formal and informal) are said throughout
the day. All
students (Catholic and Non-Catholic) are required to
participate in religious instruction, prayer, liturgy,
and related religious activities.
Each class will integrate a service experience as
part of the curriculum to foster in our children a sense
of Christian responsibility and social justice.

Syllabus
Parents and teachers work in partnership with
the parish catechists to prepare children to receive the
sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and
Confirmation.
Parent involvement is mandatory prior to
reception of the sacraments. Students in grade 2 prepare
for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion;
students in grade 8 prepare for the sacrament of
Confirmation.
Students are encouraged to develop the habit
of sacrificial giving by contributing to the classroom
collections which are part of our stewardship program.
