As a Catholic High School, Notre Dame Prep is committed to providing faith-deepening experiences for students, parents, faculty and staff. Following the example of Our Lady, we always try to point our community toward Jesus Christ.

We provide a learning environment based on faith and reason that challenges students to grow intellectually, personally, ethically and spiritually by offering: Daily Prayer Mass: Daily in the Chapel and Monthly All-School (when allowed) Sacrament of Reconciliation (Advent, Lent and anytime by appointment) First Friday Adoration of The Blessed Sacrament Retreats: All-School House, Kairos, Senior Moms, Faculty and Staff Faith Formation Activities Within House System PRAYER REQUESTS As a community, we pray for one another. NDP friends and families may request special prayer intentions to be offered up during daily school prayer. Your prayer request is a sacred trust and kept confidential. To request a prayer, please visit ndpsaints.org/faith/prayer-requests.

MASS ON CAMPUS Mass is the source and summit of Catholic life. We will continue to hold daily Mass at 7:10 a.m. in our Chapel, with Wednesday Mass livestreamed at youtube.com/notredameprep. Only 25 people may attend morning Masses until the State of Arizona clears us for larger gatherings. Once the COVID-19 ban on large gatherings is lifted, we will resume our monthly All-School Masses in the gym.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE LEARNING Serving those most in need helps students learn to freely sacrifice themselves to serve the less fortunate and marginalized. We strive to form in our students a heart that resembles the Sacred Heart of Jesus, sympathetic to the suffering of others. Students are required to give 120 hours of Christian service over four years in order to graduate. A pass/fail grade is given if requirements are met or not. Please see our new Christian service policy ndpsaints.org/faith/christian-service-learning.
