Faith Formation

Faith Formation at St. Monica Catholic School

St. Monica Catholic School’s mission statement is simple: The M.O.R.E. Factor (“Mission Ordered towards Reaching Eternal Life”). Academic excellence is the goal for each one of our students, but over and above this, our students are invited into a relationship with Jesus Christ. A relationship we hope will carry them into Eternity with Him. Our students receive daily theology and attend weekly Masses. They encounter the Lord in weekly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and are called to put their faith into action through service. For our non-Catholic students, we offer them the opportunity to get to know our Catholic Faith, while providing them with a foundation in virtue and morals that lasts a lifetime. Our St. Monica administration, staff, and faculty strive to provide a personal witness to our students of Christian patience and understanding, fostering an environment where all students can thrive and experience the love of God.

Student Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank you for the privilege St. Monica School gives,
Which allows us to share, practice and know that God lives.
St. Monica, intercede for us during the course of this day,
Encourage us to trust in God and to pray.
St. Joseph of Cupertino, patron of education,
Help us to be thankful for our teachers, family, staff and their dedication.
Holy Spirit, Our Comforter, be by our side for protection,
And lead us in the heavenly direction. AMEN
