St. Michael's Goal

The unique feature of a parochial school is the process of religious development and formation of its students.  As a Christian Community our job is to enhance our spiritual awareness and provide witness to Christ's teachings of peace and Social justice within the global community.

At St. Michael School this process and development is maintained through a complete graded course of study in religion, which is taught in grades K-8, covering the basic tenets, beliefs, traditions, and practices of the Roman Catholic faith. Sacramental preparation is incorporated into the curriculum at the appropriate grade levels.

• Eucharist reception takes place on the second grade level.
• Reconciliation reception takes place primarily on the second grade level.
• Confirmation reception takes place on the eighth grade level.

Eucharist participation is of high priority. All school liturgies are scheduled once a month.

Penance Services are scheduled at intervals during the school year. Parents are encouraged to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation with their children regularly so that their children will associate this experience with family worship rather than as a school experience.

All students have the opportunity to experience traditional devotions and practices of the Catholic faith -  the rosary, stations of the cross, Lenten sacrifices, mission education, vocation awareness, and prayer.

The information provided below, as well as a prevailing atmosphere of faith, contribute to the process of internalizing values which are distinctively attributed to the Catholic faith.
