St. Anne-Pacelli offers students a chance to live their faith journey to the fullest! We are a Catholic school and embrace education that develops the mind, body and spirit. The study of religion and moral issues is appropriate for the students, especially, as they prepare themselves for adulthood and responsibilities and choices in a complex world.
The student body is 50% Catholic. Students of other faiths choose St. Anne-Pacelli for it's Christian environment, college prep academics, and individual opportunities that a small school can provide.
Weekly chapel services offer opportunities to worship God, facilitate spiritual growth, and provide meaningful, age-appropriate messages that relate faith to life. These services are under-stood from a Judeo-Christian perspective and expressed through a Catholic/Christian orientation. The Religion Department strives to help Catholic students understand their Catholic faith. Students of other denominations are comfortable within our halls to share their own faith and question others. In the religion classes we encourage questions.
Prayer is an integral part of daily life at St. Anne-Pacelli. Prayer over the intercom begins and ends each day. Every class can begin and end with a prayer. The religion curriculum ranges from Bible history to comparative religions, to morality, ethics and sociology.
As an extension of the Religion curriculum, we offer students an annual spiritual retreat that helps them along their faith journey.
We also provide opportunities for community service. Each semester students are required to serve 20 hours in the community as part of their religion grade. Students collect food, gifts, and other items at different times during the year to help the larger community.
Students attend Mass at least once a month. While the Mass is a Catholic celebration, it is truly an exciting opportunity for the entire student body and faculty to gather as one to share their love for Jesus.
At St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School, we aim to make every endeavor, whether it be on the football field, in the classroom, or in the chapel, a faith-filled event.
