At
Monsignor Pace High School, student strength of mind is balanced by strength
of body and strength of spirit which is the most difficult to teach because
it comes from within. Through teaching and example, a student's intellectual
and physical growth is balanced by a strong religious background that
allow students to view education and their accomplishments within the
context of a Christian life.
In addition to daily prayer, the sacraments of eucharist and reconciliation
are available. The campus ministry department provides each student with
opportunities to take an active role in volunteer services and also in
organizing prayer services and liturgies.
During the school year students have the opportunity to participate in
a comprehensive retreat program. Weekend retreats are tailored for each grade. There is also a required comprehensive community service hours
program, which is faith flowing into action.
Campus Ministry Programs
The
various Pace campus ministry programs provide on-going opportunities for students to get involved in some of the major moral
issues of our times. Students are involved as eucharistic ministers, lectors,
acolytes, and retreat leaders. The groups include the Marist Society, LIFE (Living in Faith Experience), Respect Life, the Dominican Republic Mission Work, and Peer Ministry. In a world which Christians often put our faith and values to the test, Monsignor Pace hopes that by a thorough program of spiritual development, the seed of Christian virtues might be allowed to develop and grow strong.
Chapel
Monsignor Edward Pace High School provides a daily opportunity for its students to frequent the Sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist. The Dante Navarro Religious Education Center contains a chapel and meeting rooms separated by a movable partition. The chapel provides the students and faculty a place for prayer in the presence of the Holy Eucharist. Daily Mass is celebrated at 7:20 a.m. to provide, for all, the opportunity to begin the day by participation in the representation of the Sacrifice of Calvary.
