Religious Activities
As a Roman Catholic school, St. Agnes' Academy observes the church's holidays and celebrates it with the Holy Eucharist (Mass). The school also celebrates Mass every first Friday of the month.
The Agnesians hold a triduum which means three-day prayer on the feast of their three main patron saints, St. Benedict, St. Scholastica and St. Agnes, respectively.
The Angelus is being recited everyday before lunch by the whole school. And everyone is expected to remain silent (if not reciting the prayer aloud) and movement is discouraged while the prayer is being recited.
Every Monday, a Morning Praise is being held in the Grade School and High School Quadrangles, and from Tuesday to Friday, the High School Department practices Lectio Divina, wherein you will read and reflect on a bible passage/s.
Every Second Tuesday of the month, the students have their Basic Ecclesiastic Community or Faith Sharing wherein a bible passage is being given to reflect on and they share their experiences, reactions, etc. to the other students.
After recess, there is a two-minute silence to prepare the students for the next class. And another two-minute silence after lunch before they pray the Midday Prayer.
At dismissal, the St. Benedict's Prayer for Peace is being recited before the students go out of the classroom.
The school also has a Student Involvement Program wherein the students participate in outreaches, etc.

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or activities:
“It is not funny that anything else should fall down; only that a man should fall down.... Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
