Spirituality and service are important components at St. Francis Borgia Catholic School. Our religion program provides classroom instruction along with weekly and holy day liturgies planned jointly by faculty and students. Our Pastor also provides weekly instruction through classroom visits.
Morning and lunchtime prayers are an integral part of every school day. The sacraments of First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation are received in 2nd grade. In 4th through 8th grade, students attend Lenten and Advent Confessions. Community service, outreach projects, cross-grade mentoring, Tablesetters Service Group and Upper School retreats provide our students with the opportunity to further understand and live their faith.
Students learn in an environment with opportunities to serve others. Involvement in local and global service activities raises awareness of our blessings and the need to the serve those less fortunate.
