Catholic Religion is of the utmost importance since the primary purpose of our school is spiritual and religious in its outlook and orientation. Religion is taught daily and is assessed in the forms of “product” and “performance” and is guided by Archdiocesan Religion Standards.
In addition to understanding the history and teachings of our Catholic faith, we expect students to demonstrate their knowledge by applying their faith in daily living. The faculty and staff at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic School model strong Catholic values and nurture empathy, peace, and love among students through daily interactions.
Our second grade students also participate in the Sacramental Preparation process. This ministry prepares the children in our parish to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. It leads the children and their parents/guardians to a joyful response to God’s call to know, love, and serve Him and others throughout their lives within the Catholic Church.
