Faith at ABS
Archbishop Borders School begins and ends its day in prayer. We ask the Holy Spirit to inspire us as we listen and write, so that we can discover more about the world around us. We also celebrate Mass together and have growing service and peer ministry programs. Students in first through eighth grades attend Mass weekly at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, a thriving Redemptorist parish that has been serving the community since 1873! Students have the opportunity to grow as servant leaders in Mass through altar serving, becoming a lector, gift bearing, or assisting with Mass music. Students have prayer buddies, a partner from another class within the school. We incorporate many traditions from the Latino Catholic church, most notably song-filled processions for saints days, such as the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Las Posados, Dia de Los Muertos, and Three Kings’ Day.
Religion is taught daily at Archbishop Borders School. Archbishop Borders School partners with Sacred Heart of Jesus church to provide Sacramental Preparation for students receiving the Sacraments.
Our students participate in several service projects throughout the year, and we are always looking for new ways we can serve our community.
- Cans-giving collection: Canned donations are brought in by grade level and donated to Assisi House
- Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowls: students collect change throughout Lent to support people in need
- Sock Drive: families donate socks to support people experiencing homelessness
