Spiritual Life

FAITH AND HUMAN FORMATION

Assisting parents in the spiritual formation of their child(ren) in the Catholic faith is the reason for the existence of St. Benilde School.  Grades Pre-K 4 through 7 attend mass weekly.  On special occasions, students in Prekindergarten 3 and from the Loreto Early Learning Center may also attend mass. Opportunities to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation are provided in Advent and Lent, as well as in individual circumstances at the request of the student.  Additional liturgical and para-liturgical celebrations are celebrated as appropriate throughout the year, such as lighting of Advent wreaths, Stations of the Cross, prayers of the rosary, morning and afternoon prayer, and May Crowning.  Finally, in keeping with our Catholic Christian call to active discipleship, students participate as appropriate in various mission, pro-life, and service activities throughout the year.
