Saint Cecilia School is a Roman Catholic school of the Diocese of Covington. The school is dedicated primarily
to the teaching of the Catholic faith and the catechesis and religious formation of our students, which is evident in our
school's mission statement, "We love and serve God through excellence in Catholic education". This mission
is lived out daily through prayer, study, and the formation of Christian values.
Our
students are given a variety of opportunities to deepen their religious formation. In addition to the regular religious
education curriculum, students
* attend Holy Mass twice each week
* receive the Sacrament of Penance on an average of every 5-6 weeks
* prepare for, and receive,
the Sacrament of Confirmation during 8th grade
* pray one decade of the Rosary daily for various classroom,
school-wide, and universal intentions
* spend some time in quiet prayer and Adoration of the Most Blessed
Sacrament each Thursday
* in grades 4-8 have the opportunity to serve at the Altar and to lector during
Holy Mass
* observe the Church's liturgical year through special seasonal activities such as Stations
of the Cross during Lent, lighting of Advent wreaths, celebrating important feast days of
school and classroom patron saints, etc
* engage in service projects and apostolic outreach, such as
food drives, tag days for cancer research, praying for the
dead, etc
Parents, families, and prospective parents/students are invited to join the students in prayer at Mass each Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday at 8:00 am. Parents and families are also invited to pray with the students at Stations during
Lent, and other special events as announced in the weekly newsletter.
Our Catholic identity is
evident upon walking into the building. We have statues of Our Lady and other saints, icons outside every classroom,
and various religious images in each room of the building. However, we believe that our Catholic identity is most apparent
by the actions and attitudes of our faculty, staff, and most especially, our students. We invite all who are interested in
our school to visit us and experience the attitudes of prayerfulness, compassion, and joy of our entire school community.
