"For I know the plans I have for you..." Jeremiah 29:11

​

All of our students are educated in the Catholic faith, PreK through senior high. This includes learning the foundations of the Catholic Faith, discussing the story of Jesus, and exploring the origin of holidays such as Easter and Christmas. Prayer is a daily practice and we explore the deeper meanings of Catholic Mass and the importance of the sacraments. 

​

At the elementary level, daily religion classes focus on the Golden Rule, and a basic knowledge of our faith, including important Biblical Stories that make the journey of faith palatable for the young minds. Second graders will spend their school year preparing for First Penance and First Holy Communion. We have the honor of collaborating with local priests, especially Father McCreary and Father Dias, on religious endeavors throughout the school year, including the blessing of the animals, Holy Rosary's, Advent Wreath Ceremonies, and much more. Father Bechtel, pastor of Saint Joseph the Worker Parish, is our Academy Chaplain.

 

Students attend mass twice a month, at St. Boniface Church, located directly next to our school. Priests from the local area Catholic churches preside over our masses, and our student choir, made up of students 2nd grade through 5th, provide exceptional accompaniment to our liturgy. Our students in kindergarten to 5th grade have the opportunity to be part of Mass through altar serving, gift bearing, and providing sacred reading during Mass.

 

We offer the sacrament of Reconciliation during the season of Advent and Lent.  We pray the Stations of the Cross during Lent, and we have opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration and confessions. We do rosary recitation several times throughout the school year. 
 
We welcome students of all faiths into our Academy. We expect all students, regardless of religious denomination, to be respectful at our Masses and our religious services; opening to their minds and hearts to the teachings of the Catholic Faith.
