Spiritual Life
Lower School girls participate in an enriching spiritual life during their Visitation educational experience. The mission of the Academy mirrors Mary’s visitation to Elizabeth, her acceptance of Jesus in her own life and her commitment to carry Him to others. Students strive to “Live Jesus” by reflecting Christ’s gentle strength in their daily interactions.Each school year is opened and closed with students gathered in prayer. The class day begins in prayer. In all that we do, the words of St. Francis are repeated, “Let us place ourselves in the presence of God….”
Students, faculty, staff, administration and Sisters gather regularly for liturgies and prayer services throughout the school year. Each group shares the experience of retreats to deepen their spiritual life.
In addition, community service plays a major role in the spiritual development of each young girl.
