At Saint Patrick Academy, we are committed to the spiritual development of each student.
Students at Saint Patrick Academy receive an education rooted in the Catholic faith. We welcome students and families of all faith backgrounds and believe that all students benefit from learning about core Catholic teachings – to love your neighbor, to live out the virtues, and to serve others.
Students are presented with regular opportunities to grow deeper in their faith. Through weekly Mass, daily Religion class, prayer, retreats, community service, and more, students are invited to grow closer to God and to learn to live out a virtuous life in Christ.
One feature of faith formation at Saint Patrick Academy is our virtue program. Each week, students study a virtue that falls under one of the parent virtues: Justice, Temperance, Fortitude, or Prudence. Students explore what each virtue means and what it looks like and sounds like when it is practiced and lived out. Students are challenged to make connections between the virtues and the faith. Through explicit teaching of the virtues and the use of virtue language in all aspects of the school day, we seek to help students grow into the best versions of themselves.
