A. Faith
Development:
Catholic parents
have a serious responsibility to help their children grow in faith
by the example of their own prayer life and their weekly participation
at Saturday evening or Sunday Mass. The school provides parent orientation
and student preparation for the reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation
and Holy Eucharist. As first educators of their children, parental
involvement is expected in preparing the children for these Sacraments.
It is the duty of the parents to encourage their children in continued
participation in the sacramental life. A monthly Family Mass is
celebrated on the last Saturday of each month at 6 P.M.
