Religious Activities

April and May – St. Francis Academy had several religious activities for the past few weeks: the eight graders re-enacted the Stations of the Cross just before our Easter break. Last week, the 2nd graders received the Sacrament of Reconciliation in preparation for their first Holy Communion. And on Tuesday, we honored our mothers in the celebration of the Holy Mass.

We invite you to witness our 2nd graders as they receive their First Holy Communion on May 21, 2011.

Students from Pre-K through Grade 2 learned about the digestive system when Sam the Dragon visited Saint Francis Academy on April 5, 2011. All the students got a chance to climb into a giant mouth, slide down an esophagus, and end up in a churning stomach before squeezing through the small and large intestines.
