Key Elements - Outcomes

- Staff collaborate with the Faith Coordinator to assess for professional, personal and environmental needs to school and teachers.
- Invite the parish priest(s) in our division to participate in our liturgies.
- Increase active student participation in liturgies and make them available to all students regardless of program.
- Improve Christian "witness" by having staff lead morning class prayer and lunch blessing as well as have "visible" religious icons in the background during lessons.
