Children attend Mass and are taught appropriate prayers in order to enhance their spiritual life. Students lead weekly Masses through liturgical readings and music. The Chapel in the school is available, and all are encouraged to visit whenever possible. Students are prepared for the sacraments of First Penance, First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Special school-wide activities include the Blessing of the Animals, Living Rosary, Heavenly Hallway, Living Stations during Lent, and May Crowning. Catholic Schools Week is also celebrated with many fun family activities.
