“We, the Catholic School of St. Eugene, dedicate ourselves to keeping Christ in our vision by nurturing spiritual growth and academic excellence in our students, their families, and the community in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Faith.”
With Christ as the cornerstone of our school, we welcome families of all faiths. Students attend and lead mass each week, participating as readers, cantors, and altar servers. They have opportunities to pray the Rosary and attend Adoration and Reconciliation throughout the year. We teach the Liturgical Seasons and carry on Catholic traditions each month. Students learn about and celebrate saint feast days, observe the month of the Rosary, receive classroom and Epiphany blessings, have the option to participate in the annual St. Francis blessing of the pets, lead the May crowning of Mary, learn about the Jesse Tree, and much more. Many of these celebrations and traditions are student-led, leading to deeper connections with their growing faith.
Preschool through first grade students attend Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, which is a nationally recognized program designed to introduce religious values and concepts to young children.
Second graders receive Sacramental Preparation in school for both First Reconciliation and First Communion.
Seventh and eight grade students participate in Confirmation preparation during Theology classes. Religion is taught daily as a core subject at all grade levels. Catholic Social Teaching is infused in all teaching and learning.
