For decades Manistee Catholic Central has been blessed with the opportunity to provide our students with a comprehensive education based on Christian values and academic excellence in a family-oriented, Christ-centered environment.
Through our faith-based education, mass, prayer and retreats, school and community service opportunities, our mission is to prepare students for a successful and fulfilling future.

Mass, Prayers, 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, participate in 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.
N.C.Y.C.
Our students have the opportunity to attend the The National Catholic Youth Conference
which is a powerful, biennial, three-day experience of prayer, community, and empowerment for Catholic teenagers (of high school age) and their adult chaperones. Every other year, students have the opportunity to travel to Indianapolis, where more than 23,000 young people and their chaperones attended as a catalyst for spiritual growth and wisdom.
