Prayer & Worship
In addition to daily morning prayer, students have the opportunity to participate in both grade-specific and all-school masses. Communion services are also offered in the Chapel of St. Henry prior to the start of every school day.
Morning Prayer
Prayer is an integral part of our Catholic faith, so much so, that we join together as a school at the beginning of every school day. During morning homeroom, a member of our Liturgy Committee will read aloud over the school's PA system a special prayer to start the day.
Masses
Catholic Holy Days of Obligation are observed throughout the school year, as are other special occasions such as our Memorial Mass, Catholic Schools Week, Ash Wednesday, and Elderfest. The Liturgy Committee, under the guidance of the Campus Minister, plays an important role toward the planning and execution of all-school Masses.
Communion Services
Every school day, students, staff, and faculty members are invited to attend brief services in the Chapel of St. Henry, located off the main hallway of the school building, where extraordinary ministers distribute Holy Communion to those present.

Morning Prayer
Today is the Feast Day of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.Read More
St. Elizabeth, although you were born into royalty,
you saw God in the poor of your country.
With your wealth, you cared for the poor
and the suffering, and built hospitals for the sick.
You saw your work as an extension of your faith.
Move our hearts to see all those who suffer with compassion.
Remove all doubt and judgement from our souls
and help us see all as you saw them: Children
of God and reflections of our Creator.
Please pray for those who care for the sick and poor,
and watch over all those who work in hospitals.
Amen.
