MissScripture Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Ok, looking at lifeteenchick257's poll got me wondering. How is it for Catholic kids going to Catholic Highschool. I know some people responded on her thread with Catholic HS stuff. I was wondering if anyone has had a really good experience with Catholic High School. As in it was actually Catholic, unlike my school... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All For Jesus Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Fortunately, I was blessed with a wonderful Catholic highschool.- I just graduated. I wasn't Catholic when I first started attending (neither was my familiy,) but after one year, I was hooked. I have learned just about everything I know about Catholicism from this school. So for me, no, it wasn't hard to be Catholic. We had a Blessed Sacrament Chapel that you could visit throughout the day and absolutely wonderful theology classes. I loved my Catholic high school!

On the upside, maybe things'll finally change. It's really nice to hear that there are good Catholic Schools out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatholicCid Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I dunno... I'm still at a Catholic High School... We have a chapel open 24/7, have a Monthly Mass and Holy Days, Have had Adoration at times, Mostly orthodox Religious classes... But then, we have a lot of homework which, to me, takes up a lot of time I could be use reading into other things (of a religious nature), Some of the Religious Classes I heard are a little heretical, and the Student Body isn't the easiest thing to live with... It is easier than a Public School I believe, but there are some things lacking... With luck, this year will hold good things... If not, I've grown tired of sitting back and just letting it happen so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLikeABird Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Better than public in my opinion. I went through Catholic Highschool for 5 years (Canadian - HS starts in gr8 up here) We had weekly mass (optional) and monthly mass (mandatory). I had no trouble at all being Catholic there. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I am very envious of you who go to decent Catholic Schools. At mine we had weekly Mass on Thursdays before school. For 4 years I was the only student who would consistenly show up. It was bad enough the first year, when I'd drag my friends along. Then they stopped coming and occasionally other people would come. Then they moved the Chaple to the Senior hallway, which makes it even less conducive to people. It is intimidating coming out of that chaple into a hallway of seniors. Then this year, I was sometimes the ONLY person at Mass (as in, not even teachers). The faith formation director and the camput ministry teacher got in an argument because the CM teacher wanted weekday Masses to be mandatory for the CM kids. But the faith formation director says that is forcing it on people. Grr! I don't even know if they'll continue weekday Masses, because no one shows up.

benedictaj Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I love my Catholic (all girls semiprivate) high school. Its a very caring and supprotive environment. We have an awesome orthodox principal, even if the other teachers aren't. However, the principal is leaving at the end of this year.....which would break my heart, but this is my last year of school!!!!!!!!!!!! : I'm ecstatic!!!!! But, I find having Catholic (quite conservative Catholic views) really hard. I think contraception is wrong, I'm a total pro lifer, I like apologetics, and I have opinions that hardly anyone else does. We have hardly any actual Catholics at the school, therefore the only person who tends to agree with me is an ardent Baptist, lol!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my school, we had weekly mass. A priest from the community would celebrate and it was mandatory for everyone to attend. I think this was very good- though many of the students groaned b/c they had to go. Also, towards the end of the school year, we started having weekly adoration. Ahh, it was wonderful. It is sooo important for the students to have that spiritual influence in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
