Faith

St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception School is a Christ-centered environment where each child is encouraged to follow the example of Jesus in all aspects of life. Students seek knowledge through the teachings of the Catholic Church and apply those teachings to daily life.

Religious Education Program

Religion classes are taught daily in all grades. On days when students attend Mass, the religion class yields to the Mass. Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 attend the 8:30 A.M. Mass on Wednesday; Grades 1, 2, 7 and 8 attend on Friday. On the First Friday of the month and on Holy Days of Obligation, the entire student body attends Mass together. Students take an active role in fulfilling various parts of the liturgy. Parents are invited and encouraged to participate in these liturgies with us. In addition to our all school Masses, liturgical, sacramental, and prayer opportunities include communal penance services, all school Living Rosary, Stations of the Cross, May Crowning, and seasonal prayer services.

The primary purpose of St. Mary School is to provide instruction in our Catholic faith with practical application of Catholic principles. Since the primary faith educators of children are their parents, St. Mary School acts as an extension of the Catholic home in supporting the instruction of Catholic values.  The greatest single factor in building a child’s intellectual, cultural, moral and spiritual attitude is the example provided in one’s home.
