The Catholic Church is one of the oldest Christian faiths. We believe in one God who is the Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit. Jesus is really important to us because we see Him as our Savior who taught us how to live and died to save us. We have special ceremonies called sacraments, like Baptism and Communion, where we show our faith and receive God's love. Every week, we go to Mass at church to pray, listen to stories from the Bible, and take part in these ceremonies. The Pope, who lives in Vatican City, is our leader. Catholicism is not just a religion; it's also a culture that has influenced art, music, and how people think about big ideas for a long time. Attending a Catholic school for the first time might seem a bit intimidating, but it's a place where we learn more about our faith, study regular subjects, and grow in our understanding of the world.

The Angelus- Said after lunch daily
V/. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
R/. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
V/. Behold the handmaid of the Lord,
R/. Be it done unto me according to your Word.

Hail Mary…

R/. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts: that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by the message of an Angel, may by his Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of his Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
