Faith Formation

Education infused with faith

From weekly mass to daily prayer, faith is a constant at St. Peter Claver School. While we are a Catholic School, we welcome and respect people of all faiths.  In fact, three quarter of our scholars are not Catholic.

We begin each week with a prayer service; scripture readings set the tone for the week. Every day during morning announcements, scholars and staff recite a prayer together.

Religion is taught as part of the curriculum.

Our chaplain, Fr. Chris Collins, pastor of St. Peter Claver Catholic Church and Vice President of Mission at the University of St. Thomas, says all-school Mass every week.

Our 8th graders pair up with a kindergartner for mass, which makes for relationships that last for the entire school year.  They take the youngest scholars under their wings and share what they have learned in their time at our school.
