The Nature of Prayer and Liturgy

In a Catholic school, prayer and liturgy are seen as acts of giving glory, honour, praise, and thanks to God. They represent our heartfelt response—through words and actions—to God’s invitation to build a relationship with Him. This invitation is made possible through the work of Jesus Christ and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Inspired by the liturgical traditions of the Church, communal worship is designed to meet the religious and educational needs of all participants. Here, worship is a vital part of school life, deeply embedded in the Catholic tradition.
