Faith Formation

Holy Spirit School is a ministry of Holy Spirit Catholic Church. It is built on Catholic tradition and the fundamentals of faith in God, affirming the human dignity of all, and building solidarity within our community. Holy Spirit encourages all members of our community to show respect and care for one another and to use their gifts for the benefit of the community and the world.

Prayer & Worship

Prayer is an important part of a Catholic education. Through prayer, we strive to raise awareness among our students of God’s presence within themselves, each other, and the school community. Examples include:

  • Weekly & Holy Day Masses

  • Morning prayer

  • Prayer before lunch

  • Stations of the Cross (during Lent)

Sacraments

Catholics believe that Jesus Christ instituted the sacraments and that they provide us grace. Holy Spirit students have the opportunity to receive the Eucharist on a regular basis at school Masses. Students in grades 2–8 also have the opportunity to go to confession during Advent and Lent.

Catholic Social Teaching

Catholic Social Teaching is an integral part of Holy Spirit Catholic School. We challenge our students and the entire school community to live in a socially responsible manner. Teachers regularly bring Jesus’ worldview into instruction by asking the questions like, “What does Jesus tell us about this? What does Scripture tell us to do?”

Some of our past social justice projects include:
