FAMILY OBLIGATION

Since our task is to complement the faith and the example given by the parents, we encourage each family to:

Attend mass regularly on weekends and holy days; As Catholics, we are taught the importance of keeping holy the Lord’s Day. Regular attendance at mass on weekends is a Church law.  Pray with their children.  Inquire about religion lessons taught in the classroom.  Actively participate with your children in stewardship/service projects.  In this way, we will be working hand-in-hand to model Jesus’ example for our children.

 

FIELD STUDY TRIPS

Each year students in grades 6th through 8th are provided the opportunity to participate in a day off campus to experience our Catholic Faith in different venues.
