  • Masses

    Students participate in school masses and prayer services throughout the school year. Under the guidance of our Director of Religion, students minister as altar servers, lectors, and cantors taking on leadership roles in the liturgy. All students are encouraged to active participate in worship services and masses. Music, art, reenactments, movement, and symbolism are incorporated wherever possible.

  • Morning Prayer

    Every morning Mayfield Junior School students, faculty, and staff gather to begin the day together in prayer. Morning Prayer provides an opportunity for the entire school to share reminders and good news, and to pray for the many needs of the world.

  • Religion Classes

    Throughout their years at Mayfield, students are encouraged to discover and strengthen their spirituality, and to understand their relationship with God. The religion program is designed to give students a strong foundation in Catholic Social Teachings and an awareness of their responsibility to act with integrity, kindness and compassion towards others. Faith in action is infused throughout the entire curriculum encouraging mindfulness, good decisions, and an open heart.

  • Sacramental Program

    The sacramental program is the primary focus of religious instruction during the second grade year. Catholic students prepare for and receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Students of other faiths are involved in the instruction and preparations, and are invited to join their classmates in the ceremony and celebration. Those students receive their own special blessing at the service.

  • Stations of the Cross

    Sixth graders lead the students, faculty and staff in a special live production of the Stations of the Cross each year on Holy Thursday. The entire community attends and is actively a participant through responses, prayers, songs and scripture.
"As a Mayfield Student, I accept responsibility for my actions and words. I honor God's creation and pledge to treat others with kindness, compassion, and respect."
