Liturgy and Worship

As the source and summit of our lives and a participation in the one saving act of Christ all of our liturgical action and worship is centered upon the Eucharist.  We are blessed to have a very involved student body who serve as altar servers, choir members, lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and as ushers.  If you are interested in one of these ministries see Mr. Nichols, Mr. Millare or Mrs. Sanders.  Not only do we begin and end each day in prayer, as members of the Body of Christ, we are transformed in prayer by:

  • Weekly all school Masses
  • Holy Days of Obligation
  • Morning Prayer before Christ in the tabernacle (optional)
  • The Angelus (daily) and the Regina Coeli (during Easter season)
  • Praise and worship during Adoration
  • Advent and Lenten penance services with Benediction
  • Monthly opportunity for Confession
  • Retreats with quiet prayer before Christ in the Blessed Sacrament
  • The rosary
  • Stations of the Cross (during Lent)

Parents are invited to offer an hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament every first Wednesday of the month.  Please contact Mr. Nichols at anichols@pj23.org for more information.

Our students, faculty and staff love when our parents, friends and benefactors join us for Mass.
