“living, Celebrating, and Proclaiming Our Faith”
We are in the second year of our three-year theme, “Living, Celebrating, and Proclaiming our Faith.”As a school community, we recognize our role in sharing our faith with others by fully committing ourselves to God. We demonstrate our faith through our words, actions, and interactions and how we reflect Jesus in celebrating with those around us.
One of our goals in Catholic Education is “Helping Children Grow Closer to Jesus.” This year, Notre Dame will continue with “Virtues in Practice” by learning about the “Fruit of the Holy Spirit”. The Kindergarten through Grade Seven students will grow closer to Jesus by imitating His life and practicing the virtues. The school will focus on the same virtue and Fruit of the Holy Spirit each month. These unique qualities grow in our hearts when we live according to God’s will. We help our children become kind, loving, and faithful by nurturing these fruit.
Our main objective in continuing our virtue program at Notre Dame is to offer our community, students, teachers, parents, and all staff an opportunity to open themselves up to know, value, practice, and internally analyze the virtues with regular and consistent practice. The main focus is on practicing specific virtues each month.
Virtue is a desire to be firm in one’s commitment to doing the right thing. It allows people to give of themselves without question and to do the right thing for the sake of humanity. Students will be provided ongoing opportunities to practice these virtues daily. The goal is to educate and encourage students to ponder the virtues. This enables the community to make the virtues part of their lifelong habits while allowing them to become influential leaders in all aspects of their character formation.
Faith and Religious Education
Every student enrolled at Notre Dame School participates in the religion program Alive in Christ, which is approved by the Prince George Diocese. The Alive in Christ program is a religious curriculum that focuses on the life, mission, and saving work of Jesus Christ. Scripture is presented in ways that encourage students to learn about the people and stories of the Bible and listen to the voice of God.
One of the most integral parts of our school community is the celebration of Masses. School Mass is usually held on the second Friday of each month. Students in each grade have an opportunity to play an active role in Mass throughout the school year. On the other Fridays of each month, different classrooms take turns delivering a prayer service for the school. Parents/Guardians are invited to attend school Mass and Prayer services.
