Liturgy & Prayer

The celebration of the Eucharist and daily prayer are central to the faith life of East Catholic. Mass is offered in the Notre Dame chapel every week on Tuesday afternoons immediately after the end of the school day. In addition, all members of the school community gather monthly to celebrate Mass together. 

Each day and every class period begins with prayer. The long-observed tradition of third period prayer is a special part of the East Catholic experience. At the start of third period each day, activity ceases as the entire community pauses to offer special intentions and prayers to the loving God or to reflect on a special theme or reading. Third period prayer is led by students and faculty members; this time serves to unite and ground the school community. 

Liturgies are coordinated by student Peer Ministers in conjunction with Campus Ministers. Students are encouraged to read, serve, and participate as music ministers and ushers at all school liturgies. A complete liturgy schedule can be found on the school calendar.
