Integral to our mission is the formal study of the Roman Catholic Faith in union with the Magisterium. Not only do we study the Catholic Faith, but also we strive to provide an all-pervasive culture steeped in Catholicism. In our curriculum, and all we do, we strive to be consistent with Catholic values and tradition. All students, including non-Catholics, are required to attend all religious education classes, Masses and prayer services, and adhere to the religious education expectations established by the school. Students are expected to show respect for the Catholic Faith in all they say and do.
As Pius XI said in paragraph #80 of On Christian Education:
“…..It is necessary that all the teaching and the whole organization of the school, and its teachers, syllabus and text-books in every branch, be regulated by the Christian spirit, under the direction and maternal supervision of the Church; so that Religion may be in very truth the foundation and crown of the youth's entire training; and this in every grade of school, not only the elementary, but the intermediate and the higher institutions of learning as well. To use the words of Leo XIII: ‘It is necessary not only that religious instruction be given to the young at certain fixed times, but also that every other subject taught, be permeated with Christian piety. If this is wanting, if this sacred atmosphere does not pervade and warm the hearts of masters and scholars alike, little good can be expected from any kind of learning, and considerable harm will often be the consequence
