St. Paul Catholic School at 1755 W. Harrison Blvd., Valparaiso, IN 46385 US - Spirituality: a Daily Focus

Parish Pastoral Covenant
In this covenant the Catholic school family acknowledges that they will attend weekly Mass and share their time, talent and treasure with the parish. In return the parish generously subsidizes student tuition.

Mass Schedules

Sacrament Preparation
Students are prepared for the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the second grade. In third grade they are prepared for the Sacrament of Holy Communion, and in ninth grade they prepare for Confirmation.

All-School Masses
All-School Masses are celebrated each Friday of the academic year. All school children participate. The Masses truly reflect the children living their faith as they take turns commentating, lectoring, serving, bringing up the gifts, and singing in the choir.

Family Fridays
Family Fridays are a monthly happening at school. Each student is placed into a "family" consisting of one child from each grade, eighth grade "parents" and a staff leader. In caring for the younger ones, the older students develop a sense of responsibility. Likewise, the younger students look up to their old leaders. Each family has a unique t-shirt identifying them as a member of their family. Throughout the day the families participate in activities together beginning with All-School Mass.  Through the use of this student ministry, our school maintains its close knit fabric despite an enrollment of near 400 students.

Parish families meet weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7-8:30pm to offer petitions and pray the rosary together. The five decades of the rosary are lead in prayer by the childres. Following the rosary recitation, the children enjoy a social hour together with the adults may read and discuss the upcoming Sunday scripture readings. The group rotates homes on a volunteer basis. New families are welcome! Call Holly at 464-9710 or Sue at 462-0613 or slivarchik@comcast.net for more information and locations.

Vocations Cross
Recognizing the need to increase the numbers of those called to a vocation within the church, Saint Paul families pray for vocations using a Vocations Cross. Each week a family takes home the cross and prays for young men and women to listen for God's call to the priesthood or religious likfe. This new ministry is another way that families can pray together and lift one another up in faith. Call 464-4831 for information.
