Faith
St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School (SCBCS) faculty and staff are committed to our students’ spiritual and academic growth. Students work hard, play hard, and pray hard.
There are frequent opportunities for our students to worship, learn and care for the needs of others. Each school day begins with Morning Prayer. All classes participate in the various ministries to prepare for our weekly mass and students spend time in Adoration. School-wide liturgy is celebrated on Wednesday and Holy Days throughout the year.
What is the focus of religion classes each year?
Our students don’t just learn about God—they strive to be like Him through our retreats and acts of compassion and service. Throughout the school year, each grade level participates in community outreach opportunities that reinforce our Catholic Social teachings.
Our National Junior Honor Society has partnered with Agape Mission Market, a Catholic Charities food pantry committed to addressing local food insecurity. School families are encouraged to help by bringing in food to stock the pantry and NJHS organizes themed fundraising opportunities to fund the pantry over the summer months.

What role does faith play in a student's daily life at St. Charles?
Faith isn’t something that only occurs while studying the Bible or on a scheduled volunteer day. Faith is something truly incorporated into our student’s daily life. Everyone in our St. Charles community starts the day with Morning Prayer in the courtyard. Prayer is an important part of our faith—we even begin each class with a prayer.
Students are encouraged to study His word in religion class and retreats are hosted for sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students. Our students also partake in Adoration, and weekly Mass alongside Morning Star Catholic School.
At St. Charles Borromeo, faith isn’t an afterthought—He forms the foundation of our community. Through frequent prayer, volunteering, and Mass, our students are able to strengthen their own spirituality.

Altar Servers
Altar Serving grants students the opportunity to participate actively in the celebration of the Mass. Their ministry supports the ritual of the Mass by assisting the priest and taking part in liturgical processions. Servers often help in their home parishes as well as during school masses. Serving at mass offers a meaningful way for young people to learn about and understand the elements of the Mass. Boys and girls in the 3rd grade or higher and who have received their first Holy Communion are eligible to participate in the alter server trainings.
