Catholic Identity

Sacred Heart School is a Catholic school that reflects the spirit of Catholic life and learning. Sacred Heart offers students a complete program of spiritual activities. Catholic doctrine is presented at each grade in a relevant and meaningful manner. Our Catholic faith is celebrated through regular prayer services, the weekly celebration of the Eucharist, and Holy Day liturgies. Our students regularly engage in age appropriate service projects. Parents are always welcome to join the school community in prayer.

In all spiritual activities, the school recognizes that parents play the primary role in the moral and spiritual training of the child. The example of the parents is the key factor for the spiritual development of the child. It is expected that parents and children attend weekly Sunday mass and participate in parish life.

Sacred Heart provides opportunities for students to prepare for and receive the sacraments of holy Eucharist, reconciliation, and confirmation within the Catholic community of prayer and worship.The sacraments of reconciliation and Eucharist are ordinarily received in the second grade. Preparation for the sacrament of confirmation begins in spring of the 7th grade. Confirmation is celebrated in the 8th grade.

Preparation for the celebration of these sacraments is a joint effort of parents and religious education staff. Periodic meetings and activities are scheduled throughout the year.
