Deepening Prayer
How do we develop and lead prayer in our school?
We are called to be disciples who not only know about Jesus, but also come to know him in prayer. Our liturgies are celebrated in such a way that Christ's word is heard and his presence known. We encourage others to deepen their own relationship with the Lord, exploring prayer and ways of praying, and to consider the many ways that we celebrate our faith as individuals and as communities.
