Faith Development
Our students are given a solid foundation in Catholic teaching and tradition which in turn provides a distinctive moral vision for the world. The substance and quality of religious education provide an environment that bridges religion and spirituality.
Service to others is taught to our students and loving our neighbor is taught to students by promoting the act of helping others in our surrounding community.
Liturgical experiences teach our students to be confident and courageous by engaging them as active participants in the Mass, and sharing and developing their particular talents as readers, servers or musicians; some as early as kindergarten.
