Religious Education/Liturgy

St. Cyril of Alexandria School is a community of faith which believes in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The religious program of St. Cyril of Alexandria School presents the central doctrines and morals of the Catholic faith.

Religion is taught daily in each grade and is reinforced by a weekly Liturgy and community prayer service. All classrooms take turns providing the lectors and gift bearers throughout the year.

When students attend Mass, they are required to wear a green or white St. Cyril shirt with a belt and something other than jeans. All students are to attend and show proper respect at all liturgies and paraliturgies throughout the year. Please check the school calendar for any exceptions to the normal Mass day.

To incorporate community building into the liturgy, Jr. High students "buddy-up" with Primary students and Advanced Intermediate students with Kindergarten. This gives the older students the opportunity to provide guidance and build leadership abilities. The younger students love looking up to their larger counterparts.

Fruits of the Spirit

Now in its first year, the school is shaping the character of its population with the Fruits of the Spirit. St. Cyril School realizes the pressures students face in their youth; Fruits of the Spirit is a program which strives to guide students in their decision making process with the realization that with every choice comes a consequence. Students will be recognized for demonstrating one of the nine Fruits of the Spirit as described in Galations 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Students focus on one fruit each month. Check out the video that helped introduce the students to the Fruits.
