Every area of instruction and experience at St. Gregory’s is presented from a Catholic perspective and religion animates all our activities. The direct study of the Catholic Faith is an important duty; however, the order in religious education dictates that our first emphasis should be upon the boys’ active participation in a practical Catholic life.
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is at the very center of the spiritual and sacramental life of both the Church and each one of her faithful. In forming the minds and spirits of young men, St. Gregory’s Academy leads them not only to study and know the doctrine of this mystery, but to love and appreciate the true value of the Holy Mass in their lives. Moreover, as education is a kind of friendship between teacher and student, so through the theology, liturgy and devotions of the Church a friendship is forged between Christ and the student, which we call charity. For in Christ, God now shares with us His eternal wisdom and life, which is at the basis of this divine friendship. Therefore, all things at St. Gregory’s are looked upon from this perception of eternal life, the communion of lovers, as the origin and goal.
