FAITH DEVELOPMENT:
Jesus Christ is the reason for Catholic Central. We offer optional daily Mass in our Chapel and celebrate All-School Mass monthly. Our engaging Theology curriculum, daily prayer, Rosaries, Holy Hours, and community service reinforce the importance of living our shared faith.

We provide strong role models, opportunity, encouragement, and support for your son along his faith journey so that he will continue after his graduation.
