Worship Commission
At St. Alphonsus/St. Patrick School, the celebration of our Catholic faith and Holy Mass is taken seriously and carried out with reverence and engaging ceremony. In addition to our daily prayers, we meet as a school each morning in the gym to start our day with prayer. We also gather as a school community on most Wednesday mornings for a whole-school Mass. About once per month, one class has a more intimate Mass in the school chapel, while other grade levels hold special prayer services.
Our Worship Commission transforms the gymnasium into a holy worship space each week. The commission consists of students in grades 5 through 8, directed by our third-grade homeroom teacher, Ms. Bibly. Each week, a different grade level orchestrates the Mass. Even our youngest students, sometimes with some help from their buddies, read the introduction, the First Reading, and the intercessions.
