Our Lady of Providence Inspires Faith, empowers Hope, strengthens Love, through exemplary Catholic education.
CATHOLIC IDENTITY
The American Bishops Pastoral, “To Teach as Jesus Did”, expanded the dimensions of Catholic schools when they stated that: “The educational mission of the Church is an integrating ministry embracing three interlocking dimensions: the message revealed by God which the Church proclaims; Fellowship in the life of the Holy Spirit; Service to the Christian community and the entire human community.”
In keeping with this mission, Our Lady of Providence Jr-Sr High School strives to give students the tools to live a life of faith, service and love.
We do so through the implementation of our a) school mission and philosophy, b) four-year Theology program, c) Campus Ministry program, d) Service Learning programs, e) four-year programs of retreats and reflections, and f) penance services, school liturgies, assemblies, daily prayer and daily mass. Students also have the opportunity to be ministers of the Eucharist, reading, music, and hospitality.
