REVERENCE | NOTRE DAME PREPARATORY
SEEKING HOLINESS IS PARAMOUNT FOR A MEANINGFUL LIFE Why are we here? We pose this question to our students daily. Yes, we want them to be smart in math, history, philosophy, science, business, language and technology. Our aim and higher purpose are to lead them to Christ who is all good and all-loving. Notre Dame Preparatory is more than a place of academic excellence, it is a place where we invite the Holy Spirit into our lives to aid us in forming those entrusted to our care. We believe our purpose is to strengthen each student: mind, body and soul. Living for oneself can lead to emptiness. But at NDP, it is our experience that serving the poor and marginalized, comforting the sick and infirmed, and being Christ to those who desperately need love, joy, hope and charity, lead to a full, blessed and more meaningful life. Every moment of every day, we believe that we are in the loving presence of God, and so we provide a learning environment that incorporates religious expression and fosters a relationship between our students and their Creator. In September, we held our All-School House Retreat on campus exposing students to inspiring speakers, small group discussions and opportunities for Mass and Reconciliation. This was the second year of our House System and each year we improve the All-School House Retreat. As the world gets noisier, the need to unplug is greater. We offer retreats to help students get away and connect with others and God. Our Kairos retreat program marked a milestone during the 2019-20 school year. With
