Catholic Identity

catholic identity at st. mary schools
-
At St. Mary Elementary and St. Pope John Paul II Middle School, we are deeply connected and rooted in the rich tradition of the Catholic faith.
Through our mission to build character through service and academic excellence, we seek to foster an active faith community by bearing witness to the Gospel values.
We seek to teach students to work actively to improve the quality of life within their communities and churches through the use of their God-given gifts in the service of others. Students have the opportunity to explore their faith with their peers in a variety of ways.

SPIRITUAL FORMATION
-
Catholic schools hold as primary belief in God, Christ, and Church, the value of the human person, and commitment to a mission of service. We strive to provide students and families with opportunities for growth in faith formation through a variety of liturgical experiences.
By integrating the faith, knowledge, and values, students will think critically, discover a love of learning, live the Gospel message, reach out to others in service, further social justice, and deepen their relationship with God. Our students have the opportunity for daily prayer, Holy Mass three times weekly, and fellowship with other Christian students.
