School Liturgy
 |
 | A weekly Mass celebration is an integral part of who we are at St. Joseph School. Each Mass is prepared by one of the classes and rehearsed throughout the week during Religion time. This is a student liturgy where students and staff are actively involved in all aspects of the celebration.
During the school year, approximately 35-40 weekly celebrations are prepared and delivered by the children. In addition to the weekly Masses, there are prayer services held during different seasons of the church year. Some of the special celebrations that the students and faculty prepare are listed below.
All Saint's Day Mass - Saints are discussed during the homily.
The Living Rosary - This is said once a month during the school year.
Epiphany Mass - Students present baby Jesus with gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Catholic Schools Week Mass - Students of all grades are involved in this Sunday Mass celebration. This is a unique opportunity for our school to share a Mass with the parish congregation.
May Crowning - Two representatives are selected from each class for the May crowning. There is a special procession where an eighth grade girl presents flowers to the statue of Mary in front of the altar and an eighth grade boy leads the congregation in saying the Memorare. |
