Spirituality
Founded by the Brothers of Holy Cross, Gilmour Academy's mission statement embodies its spiritual and societal philosophy - "to develop the competence to see and the courage to act in creating a more humane and just society." Students in all grade levels receive religious education from a Catholic and Christian perspective. Students are also exposed to the traditions of other faiths, and are encouraged to be accepting of all faith communities. Students are required to attend Mass once monthly as well as on major feast days, where those who are able receive the sacraments. Gilmour's religious program also extends to participation in retreats, service to the poor, and daily contemplation.
