Religious Education Program
The religious education program at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School is both academic and social.
We strive not only to have our students aware of the tenets of the Catholic faith, we encourage them to love that faith in their lives and in the community. All members of the school faculty and administrative staff BELIEVE the structure of our religious program allows our students to grow as individuals, realizing their full potential while practicing strong morals in their behavior and decisions. While many of our students are not of the Catholic faith, all students participate in our religious education programs. At Blessed Sacrament Catholic School we BELIEVE these ideals are important to our students’ education.
