Should students be required to go to school masses?
“It should be an option because not everybody is Catholic. So, if they don’t feel comfortable going to mass [and] receiving the Holy Sacrament, then they don’t need to. They can go up with their arms crossed to just receive a blessing.” – Alisia Bergholm, Assistant Dean
“Attending mass should be mandatory because we go to this school and that’s part of the deal when attending. But, I think that students have the opportunity not to eat the body of Christ, which is kind of balancing out.” – Avery McGlinchey, Senior
“Students should have an option because we all have different beliefs here. Not everyone’s Catholic even though we go to Catholic school. I think they should have a study hall with the teachers that don’t practice Catholicism.” – Alaiyah San Juan, Junior
“Although I’m not Catholic, I think it still should stay mandatory because this is a Catholic school.” – Rachel Shanley, Ed.D., Dean
