'''Religious Education''' |
|||
Religious education classes are required courses for all students. Students are educated mainly in Catholic subjects but also learn about world religions as part of regular social studies courses. Catholic Masses are offered to parents and the student body once a month. Bishop Barbarito has visited the school on more than a few occasions to celebrate Mass. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered to students once a year. |
|||
'''Retreats''' |
|||
[[Image:JohannesPaulII.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Pope John Paul II.]] |
|||
Once a year, in-school retreats are held for all classmen except Seniors. These retreats bring together the student body for a day of reflection and cooperative interactive programs meant to help the students grow in their knowledge of themselves, each other and their personal spirituality. These retreats are held in the gymnasium on separate days for freshmen, sophomores and juniors. |
|||
Seniors are strongly encouraged to attend a [[Kairos retreat]]. The Kairos Retreat Program has been the core of Pope John Paul's retreat ministry since 1988. This is a retreat for seniors that has been adopted by many high schools throughout the country and by all of the Carmelite high schools in the United States. |
|||
Kairos is a Greek word meaning “The Lord’s Time”. It is built upon a peer-to-peer ministry model which helps the retreatants deepen their relationships with themselves, their families, their friends and Jesus Christ. Prayer and Sacraments are an essential part of the retreat, as well as the retreatants’ involvement in discussions and group exercises. The goal of the retreat is to help the student achieve a greater awareness of who they are and where they are going. [http://pjpii.org/spiritual_life/retreat_programs.jsp?rn=2275541] |
|||
'''Patron and School Motto''' |
|||
Since the death of [[Pope John Paul II]], a number of clergy at the Vatican and laymen throughout the world have been referring to the late pontiff as "John Paul the Great"—only the fourth pope to be so acclaimed, and the first since the first millennium. Additionally, John Paul II had a special relationship with Catholic youth and is known by some as The Pope for Youth. The motto of Pope John Paul II High School is a quote from this late pontiff: |
|||
"Always remember that only if one builds, as St. Paul says, on the one foundation which is Jesus Christ will one be able to construct something really great and lasting." |
|||
-Pope John Paul II, January 27, 1979 [http://pjpii.org/about/motto.jsp?rn=3136041] |
