Saint Cecilia School is a Roman Catholic school of the Diocese of Covington. The school is dedicated to the teaching
of the Catholic faith and the catechises 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 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. * prepare for, and receive, the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist during 2nd grade. * pray one decade of the Rosary daily for various classrooms, school-wide needs, 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, and much more. Parents, families,
and prospective parents/students are invited to join the students in prayer at Mass each Monday 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.
