We are made in God’s image and likeness, which means we can make choices.
Grace is a free and unmerited gift.
The Church is both a visible society and a spiritual community.
The Church is Jesus’ Mystical Body.
By participating in our family and parish communities, we both give and receive support for living the Christian life.
Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God.
The saints give numerous examples of just how rich and varied the call to holiness looks among the members of the Church.
The Church teaches that prayer is simply a “conversation” with God, a raising of the mind and heart to Him.
Students will learn about the lives of St. Dominic Savio, St. André Bessette, and St. Rose Philippine Duchesne.
The Lord is always the initiator in our relationship with Him. God calls man first, and man’s first response is prayer.
Vocations, or calls to various states of life, are not something received only by a select few. Rather, God calls each and every one of us to be holy.
The Lord’s Prayer encompasses everything that can and must be said to the Father.
