The Special Catholic Character is an integral part of school life.  All children participate in the religious education programme and attend masses and other liturgical celebrations that mark important occasions int he church's year.  Daily prayer is a feature of each classroom programme.  mass is held weekly with the Parish Community and parents are always welcome to attend.  Classes help with the preparation of the liturgy at least once a term.  The spcial character is evident throughout the school by the care pupils and staff show to all people they come in contact with, medelled on Gospel values.  The virtues programme complements our Religious Education Programme.  Sacramental programmes such as First Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation are parish based with classroom programmes complementing a child's preparation.
