Mayfield Junior School
of the Holy Child Jesus
Growing in Faith
Mayfield Junior School, as a Catholic school and a member of the Holy Child Network of Schools, is committed to the religious and educational development of each child and to maintaining a sense of community and family spirit. Our school population includes families of various faith practices and beliefs. Every member of the school community is invited and encouraged to participate in the faith life of the school.
Mass and Prayer
Prayer guides our school life.
All school masses and prayer services are held throughout the school year. Under the guidance of our Campus Minister, students participate as altar servers, lectors, and cantors taking on leadership roles in the liturgy. All students are encouraged to actively participate in worship services and masses. Music, art, reenactments, movement, and symbolism are incorporated wherever possible.
Every morning Mayfield Junior School students, faculty, and staff gather to begin the day together in prayer. Morning Prayer provides an opportunity for the entire school to share reminders and good news, and to pray for the many needs of the world.
Religion Classes
Throughout their years at Mayfield, students are encouraged to discover and strengthen their spirituality, and to understand their relationship with God. The religion program is designed to give students a strong foundation in Catholic Social Teachings and an awareness of their responsibility to act with integrity, kindness and compassion towards others. Faith in action is infused throughout the entire curriculum encouraging mindfulness, good decisions, and an open heart.
Sacramental Program
The sacramental program is the primary focus of religious instruction during the second grade year. Catholic students prepare for and receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Students of other faiths are involved in the instruction and preparations, and are invited to join their classmates in the ceremony and celebration.
