RELIGIOUS DIMENSION
St. Joseph's Catholic High School is a Catholic learning environment, based
on Gospel values, which promotes the spiritual, intellectual, cultural,
emotional, and physical growth of each student, in partnership with the parents,
the Church, and the global community. By way of registration, each student at
St. Joseph's Catholic High School seals a covenant, thereby promising to
participate reverently in all aspects of the school's religious dimension -
daily prayer, community masses, homeroom mass, Paraliturgies, reconciliations,
religion classes and retreats. Indeed, to celebrate the Eucharist as a community
of faith must be embraced by each member of our Catholic school community as a
treasured opportunity. Attendance for all is mandatory. All students are
encouraged to participate to the fullest in all our liturgical celebrations by
assisting with organization, song, prayer, or simply respectful reverence.
MASSES AND ASSEMBLIES
School masses and assemblies are an integral part of the spiritual
development of our community. Attendance for all students is mandatory,
and attentiveness, co-operation and appropriate conduct are expected at all
times -- before, during and after each event. Students will be accompanied
and supervised by classroom teachers during all assemblies.
