Prayer & Worship
In addition to daily morning prayer, students have the opportunity to participate in both grade-specific and all-school masses. Communion services are also offered in the Chapel of St. Henry prior to the start of every school day.
Morning Prayer
Prayer is an integral part of our Catholic faith, so much so, that we join together as a school at the beginning of every school day. During morning homeroom, a member of our Liturgy Committee will read aloud over the school's PA system a special prayer to start the day.
Masses
Catholic Holy Days of Obligation are observed throughout the school year, as are other special occasions such as our Memorial Mass, Catholic Schools Week, Ash Wednesday, and Elderfest. The Liturgy Committee, under the guidance of the Campus Minister, plays an important role toward the planning and execution of all-school Masses.
Communion Services
Every school day, students, staff, and faculty members are invited to attend brief services in the Chapel of St. Henry, located off the main hallway of the school building, where extraordinary ministers distribute Holy Communion to those present.

Daily Prayer
Read MoreToday is Tuesday of the Third Week of Advent
Jesus, although you are God,
you hid yourself in Mary's womb to come into the world.May we see you hiding in everyone we encounter
and grow in our ability to recognize ourselves as one family.In this season of joyful hope,
help us believe in the possibility of a more charitable world
that will overcome polarization and brokenness.Give us the grace to patiently listen to others
as we wait in joyful hope for your coming.Transform our minds and our hearts to see our neighbors and our world as you do.Set aflame our hearts to tirelessly bring about your kingdom where all will find peace.Amen.
