Prayer, the lifting of the mind and heart to God, plays an essential role in the life of a devout Catholic. Without a life of prayer, we risk losing the life of grace in our souls, grace that comes to us first in baptism and later chiefly through the other sacraments and through prayer itself (CCC. 2565).

The deepest kind of prayer is a heartfelt conversation with the Lord Jesus.  It is prayer which allows us to adore God, by acknowledging his almighty power; it is prayer that allows us to bring our thanks, our petitions, and our sorrow for sin before our Lord and God. 

Each year we introduce traditional Catholic prayers to all RE students during class.  The students are encouraged to memorize them and use them!   Parents are encouraged to pray with their children at home.
