Catholic liturgy, Sacraments, traditions, and prayer are taught at St. Theresa School as an integral part of the school’s curriculum. Students in 1st grade - 8th grade attend Mass as a school community each week and holy days of obligation. Each week a different grade prepares and performs the weekly Mass.
Additionally, special Masses and liturgies are celebrated throughout the year. During these special Masses, our Kindergarten students attend with their teachers and middle school Mass buddies. There are special prayer opportunities throughout the school year for our preschoolers as well. Parents, are an important part of our faith community, are invited to attend school liturgies.
Our patroness, St. Therese of Lisieux, teaches us to care for others in little ways and shows us that we all have an important role in sharing the Truth and God's goodness. From a dynamic weekly Mass to daily prayers, and numerous social and spiritual opportunities, St. Theresa School is filled with spirit.
Parents have the primary privilege and responsibility of faith formation for their children. In support in working with parents and the parish community, we play an integral part of the formation and preparation for the reception of Reconciliation (Confession), First Holy Communion and Confirmation leading up to the reception of the Sacraments within the parish community. These Sacramental celebrations are memorable and truly special for our students and families alike.
Daily religious formation in 1st and 2nd grade helps to prepare the students for the reception of First Reconciliation during the Advent Season of 2nd grade and First Holy Communion in May. Daily religious formation in 7th and 8th grade helps to prepare students for the reception of Confirmation in late winter/early spring of 8th Grade.
While St. Theresa School is an extension of our Parish, emphasizing Catholic teachings, virtues and traditions, we also value diversity and respect for those of all faiths.
