The unique and peculiar feature of a parochial school is the process of religious development and formation of its students. At St. Mary School this is maintained through a complete graded course of study in religion, which is taught in grades 1-8, covering the basic tenets, beliefs, traditions and practices of the Roman Catholic faith. Sacramental preparation for Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation is incorporated into the curriculum at the appropriate grade levels. Primary and intermediate grades receive 35 minutes of instruction daily, while the junior high level receives 40 minutes of instruction daily.
Eucharistic participation is of high priority.
Please refer to the monthly and year calendar for liturgies and prayer services scheduled. Parents and friends are encouraged to attend any of these liturgies. Ohio All of the above components, as well as a pervading atmosphere of faith, contribute to the process of internalizing values which are distinctively attributed to the Catholic faith. All students of St. Mary School should attend Mass every Sunday or Saturday evening. This is a serious obligation and the responsibility of this attendance lies with the parents.
