FAITH
Daily Mass, weekly Benediction, and monthly Confession are at the foundation for the faith and devotional life of our students. In addition, Providence Academy offers these opportunities for students interested in deepening their faith and devotional life.
ALTAR SERVING
GRADES 3-12 | BOYS
Altar servers assist at daily Mass in rotating shifts throughout the year. Training takes place at the beginning of each semester.
CHRIST’S COMPANIONS
GRADES K-12
The pursuit of virtue is an integral part of life at Providence Academy and is a fundamental goal of classical education—Christ’s Companions places virtue center stage. Students from K-12th grade are organized into “houses” that meet once a month. Aided by student facilitators, older students, also known as prefects, are given the opportunity to foster leadership as they organize and lead monthly meetings. Each month is devoted to a particular virtue. Students and teachers are encouraged to acknowledge the practice of virtue daily with the aid of special “Victory for Virtue” cards that are collected in the office and tallied throughout the year. The team with the greatest number of cards at the year’s end is given special acknowledgment. The Virtue of the Year (Cardinal or Theological) provides further support and context for the virtue chosen for each month. A Saint of the Year is also invoked and acknowledged as a special intercessor.
