Prayer and Liturgy

 

The regular celebration of the Eucharist, paraliturgies, and prayer services are integral aspects of the spiritual development of both the students and the entire Catholic education community of the School of St. Mary. Students participate in both the preparation and celebration of these liturgies.

Prayer Services

In addition to our regular celebrations of Mass, there are several traditional prayer services that the students participate in planning and celebrating: 
  • October - both campuses pray the Rosary together weekly
  • Advent - weekly advent prayer services are held at both campuses. The PGC gathers together to light an advent wreath. 
  • Nativity Service - the 8th grade and 2nd Grade students work together to present the story of the nativity to both campuses.
  • Stations of the Cross - through the Lenten season, the Upper Grade Center will go through the Stations of the Cross on Friday morning. This culminates in the Living Stations of the Cross presented by the 8th-grade class for the rest of the campus and the larger Church of St. Mary community. 
  • May Crowning - the 2nd and 8th-grade students lead and participate in a special May Crowning Mass held at both the Church of St. Mary and St. Patrick's at the beginning of May.
