Religion Curriculum
Through the study of the Catholic faith and the Gospel message, MCCS students
celebrate God's love, develop a personal relationship with the Lord, and become
active members of the Catholic community. Our students learn Catholic doctrine,
prayer and traditions, through liturgy, Scripture study, retreats, and community service. |

Mass, Prayer, Retreats
Elementary school students pray in the classroom daily and
attend Mass weekly. Special events include May Crowning, penance
services, Advent and Lenten Services. Middle school and
high school students begin the day in our school chapel with
a prayer service and scripture readings, attend weekly Mass.
Religion classes pray the Rosary together and organize weekly
Stations of the Cross during Lent. Students in grades 6-12
make yearly retreats with their classmates.
Faith Formation
MCC offers Jr. and Sr. High School students the opportunity to meet
outside of school in the girls’ and boys’ Faith-Sharing
groups.
Service
Learning to serve God through serving
others is an important part of life in Manistee Catholic
Central School. Elementary school students begin with the "Learning to Give" project
and with classroom and school service projects in support of
local and global social justice issues such as St. Jude's Children's
Hospital, the Salvation Army, Love INC, Kasisi Children's Orphanage in Zambia, Africa. and the Rainforest
Action Network. High school students serve their school, parishes,
and community agencies through their religion classes. In addition,
sophomores complete 40 hours of service as part of their graduation
requirements.
