By choosing a Catholic school for your child, you value the ongoing process of faith formation that begins in early childhood. St. Raphael Catholic School keeps these goals at the forefront of curriculum development for children from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade and instills learned values that will last a lifetime.
Students are taught the gospel values of love, forgiveness, honesty, compassion, and service as well as the difference between right and wrong. Through studying the Commandments, Beatitudes, virtues and the teachings of the Church, they come to recognize Jesus as their hero and model.
Prayer services, Masses, Stations of the Cross, Meditation, Eucharist Adoration, and Retreats are an important part of the school’s religious program and are tied to the seasonal celebrations of the Church.
St. Raphael has a dynamic service ministry program which encourages and promotes Christian stewardship, providing opportunities for parish and student service projects. Currently, the school facilitates a monthly fund-raiser or service project to benefit its sister parish and school, Holy Family Parish in Pass Christian, Mississippi.
St. Raphael Catholic Church provides a myriad of Adult Faith Formation opportunities to help parents strengthen and deepen their relationship with God, empowering families to engage in faith formation together. All school parents and parishioners can take advantage of programs such as: Generations of Faith (WINGS), Christ Renews His Parish, CREEDS Bible study, Moms in Prayer, and Me-God-Mothering.
