"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. At the elementary level, daily religion classes focus on the Golden Rule, and a basic knowledge of our faith. Second graders will spend their school year preparing for First Penance and First Holy Communion. Our students learn the origin of holidays, the story of saints, and about the life of Jesus Christ.
Father Bechtel, pastor of Saint Joseph the Worker Parish, is our 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.
