“God infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life… God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength.” - Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1
Every person is made for relationship both with God and with one another. At Holy Spirit Catholic School, we strive to encounter Jesus Christ in His Church by fostering lives steeped within the sacraments and service to God and others. Faith formation is not solely a portion of our Religion and Theology classes, but rather the crux of our mission.
While our identity is unapologetically Catholic, students of all denominations are welcome at Holy Spirit. All that we do, teach, and profess is grounded fully in Scripture and Tradition, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of Catholic traditions, devotions, and virtues. Alongside our faculty and staff, students take part in the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, daily prayer, Adoration, and Confession among many other traditions of prayer and devotion that have shaped and strengthened the Body of Christ for centuries.
By the grace of God, faith, rather than being an abstract profession, is actively lived out in:
- Religion and Theology classes, where students study Scripture, doctrine, and the life of the Church
- The Eucharist, celebrated together as a school community
- Daily prayer, morning and afternoon, as a rhythm of the school day
- Traditions of prayer and devotion, the Rosary, Stations of the Cross, seasonal devotions, and other practices that connect our students to the wider Church
- Service to others, a natural response to being loved by God and made in His image
This is the foundation for life-long learning within our Catholic faith community.
