Religious

Religion class at Immaculata has a different kind of status than most other classes. Yes, it is an academic course (with assignments, tests, and so on), but even so, it is not about academics so much as growing in our relationships with God & how that looks in the way we live our lives. Academically, we explore a lot of the "big" life questions: Does God exist? Who was (is) Jesus? What is true happiness? True love? How did the Bible come to be written? ...and so on. In addition, we aim to provide students with the spiritual tools they need to grow in faith, hope & love throughout their lives: daily prayer, regular masses & liturgies, & social justice opportunities here at home & abroad. Our goal: graduates with the minds & hearts of lifelong students of Christ.

A typical day starts off with staff prayer. The students’ day begins with homeroom and includes classroom prayer lead by either the teacher or a student. Eucharistic and liturgical celebrations occur monthly throughout the year. Our chaplain, Father Wayne Pfliger, leads our celebrations while individual classes plan and administer the masses. We are blessed with the presence of our bishop, Bishop John Corriveau, who celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception mass in December and our graduation mass in June.
