FAITH
Faith based education
Most Precious Blood is a Christ-filled community. Students begin and end each day with prayerful reflection. Our students help prepare for and attend the weekly all-school Mass and regularly join in community service projects and faith-based activities. There is a priestly presence in our classrooms and community. All of our children are instructed in and given the opportunity to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation.
Sacramental Preparation
MPB is dedicated to developing Catholics that share in the glory of the sacraments. Sacramental preparation is a parish-sponsored process. Parish second graders are prepared for their first reconciliation, and third graders prepare for and celebrate their first communion and confirmation through the Archdiocese of Denver’s Restored Order. For more information and to register your child for sacramental preparation, please contact Mary Pott, Director of Religious Education, mpott@mpbdenver.org
All School Faith Activities
Our Catholic faith is the center of all that we do. Once a week we gather to celebrate the Mass, a celebration that brings together not only the students and the staff but also parents, grandparents, and parishioners. Each grade takes a turn leading mass and choir activities. Older students serve as Altar Servers and Sacristans.
Beyond the liturgy, students learn the power of prayer early and often. Each day begins and ends in prayer. Each tribulation, each thanksgiving, and each contrition evokes prayer. Our community values and encourages children to use prayer as a means to speak with God. Weekly adoration and Rosary & Prayer Services are part of the curriculum.
Living Stations of the Cross &
Los Posadas
Fifth-grade students present the Living Stations of the Cross to the entire school during Lent. This very moving prayer service combines the visual of Jesus’ passion with prayers aimed at school-aged children.
During the Christmas season our 6th grade students present Las Posadas, a cultural event that pays tribute to the journey Mary and Joseph made in search of shelter in Bethlehem.
Virtues in Practice
Virtues in Practice is a program for children in grades pre-kindergarten through eight to grow closer to Jesus by imitating His life and virtues. MPB students collectively study the same virtue each month, to provide a whole-school (and at home, whole-family) focus. The program covers 27 virtues over a three-year cycle, with 81 saints held up as models of the virtues.
