Rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Holy Angels Parish School is committed to spiritual formation, which nurtures the Catholic faith and inspires its practices. Prayer receives major emphasis at Holy Angels Parish School. Pupils pray together in the classroom at the beginning of both the morning and afternoon sessions, at the end of the day, and before the noon meal.

Mass is attended by 1st through 8th grades each Wednesday morning at 8:15 a.m., allowing the children the opportunity to sing, pray, and celebrate the Eucharist with their fellow classmates and teachers. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend our weekly Masses. At various times throughout the year, each class has the opportunity to plan a liturgy and take part in it by leading the Mass in song, scripture, and prayer. This is a special time for the children and their teacher.
