Spiritual Life

St. Gregory the Great Catholic Academy is a faith community every bit as much as an academic community. It is our Roman Catholic faith and practice that gives us our true identity, and our spiritual life must always define us.

The members of our student body attend Mass as a class each week, and come together as a whole school once a month. Special Masses to celebrate the beginning of the school year, Thanksgiving, All Saints’ Day, Christmas, and other important feasts are also part of our faith experience.

Prayer Services, opportunities for Confession, enactment of the Stations of the Cross, and recitation of the Rosary, also bring our students together in worship.

Each year our second graders enthusiastically prepare for their First Reconciliation, and First Holy Communion.  Similarly, our eighth graders look forward with the same eagerness to their Confirmation as adult members of our faith.

While approximately 85% of our student body is Roman Catholic, we open our arms in welcome to those students who embrace other faiths as well. It is in the richness of diversity that we grow in understanding and sensitivity to one another.
