Sacraments and Prayer
Mass
The celebration of the Eucharist is at the heart of our community and is the "source and summit" of our faith. Mass is offered in the chapel each Friday for one grade level. All-school Masses are held monthly and on holy days of obligation.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
On each First Friday of the school year, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is held throughout the day in the chapel. Students and faculty take turns adoring Christ in the Eucharist, exposed in the monstrance, from the end of Mass until the end of the school day.
Reconciliation
Thanks to the ministry of our two priest chaplains, we are able to make the Sacrament of Reconciliation available on a regular basis. Each year, four full days (two in Advent and two in Lent) are set aside to ensure that every member of the community has the opportunity to go to confession. In addition, at least one chaplain typically remains on campus throughout the day each First Friday, to hear confessions during Adoration. Finally, our chaplains are always willing to hear your confession when they are on campus. Just ask!
Chapel
The newly dedicated Dunlap Family Blessed Sacrament Chapel provides every member of our community with the opportunity to spend time with Christ, truly present in the Tabernacle. The chapel remains available throughout the day so that students and faculty have a beautiful and reverent space for prayer.
The Angelus
Each day at the beginning of sixth period, the entire school community pauses to pray the Angelus. The Angelus is a centuries-old prayer that uses verses from Scripture to commemorate Mary's Fiat and the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.
Special thanks to the Knights of Columbus South Hills Council 3084, who purchased and installed Miraculous Medal reliefs in every room of our school building.
