RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
It is our belief that parents are the primary educators of their children and that they provide on-going opportunities for their child to witness their faith through daily prayers at home, regular Mass attendance, and sacramental participation.
The Religious Education Program articulates the unique Catholic identity of our school in its faith development of its students as members of the total school community. The program, based upon the premise that our school is a Catholic Christian Community, asserts that each child should experience the life and growth-engendering environment of our school as a faith community. It is expected that learning experiences taught in "religion class" continually reinforce and strengthen spiritually the individual and our faith community. Students attend and participate in frequent and special prayer services, class liturgies, as well as bi-monthly Masses. Human sexuality will be taught within the confines of religion class as directed by the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Each day begins with prayer, lunch is preceded by Grace, and the day closes with afternoon prayer.
