For us, we feel that Religion is not just a subject, it is integral to everything we do at St. Louis School.  It is a vital part of of our entire day and year and we incorporate the values of Christianity into everyday occurrences and other school lessons.

Our text, Blest Are We, focuses on a study of the sacraments in fifth grade.  We also learn about the Liturgical Year and discuss how Catholics pray, live and worship.Each unit begins with a page for parents that goes along with the theme of the Unit.  We encourage you to read over these pages and use some of the ideas that are given.

We focus on the seasons and sacramentals and devotions that are a part of our Catholic faith. October and May finds us praying the Rosary. November and December brings us to a greater understanding of the season of Advent and March and April is when we concentrate on Lent and the Easter Triduum.

We have many opportunities to celebrate as a school community in Masses, prayer services, Stations of the Cross, and the Rosary.  We often give students the chance to pray privately before the Blessed Sacrament as well.
