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.
