At Most Holy Rosary Elementary School, the Catholic faith is at the heart of our daily routines and educational experiences, guiding students toward spiritual growth, compassion, and a deep sense of community. Each day begins with morning prayer at 8:00 AM and concludes with afternoon prayer at 2:40 PM, fostering gratitude and reverence. Students also learn foundational prayers, such as the Hail Mary and Our Father, and practice prayer before meals and snacks, weaving faith seamlessly into their everyday lives.
To further enrich their spiritual journey, Kindergarten through 6th-grade students attend Mass once a month. These liturgical celebrations provide meaningful opportunities for students to actively participate in the sacraments and connect with the parish community, deepening their understanding of Catholic teachings. Through these experiences, students grow in their faith while building a strong foundation for lifelong spiritual engagement.
