Montgomery Catholic Students Participate in Annual "Mass Blast"

Each year Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School students and their families are invited to participate in Catholic Masses throughout the River Region. Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School is proud to be supported by eight parishes in four central Alabama counties, including, Holy Spirit Catholic Church, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady Queen of Mercy, St. Bede the Venerable, St. Joseph, St. Peter, St. Vincent de Paul and Holy Family Catholic Community at Maxwell AFB.  This year, students were encouraged to wear their Mass day uniforms to church the weekend of January 9-10, and one family was asked to act as gift bearers. The Pastor and Associate Pastor at each parish encouraged their parishioners to explore Catholic education for their families and to pray for the school and its mission.

Catholic education is a mission of the Church, and our parishes support this mission in so many wonderful ways. Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School is grateful to each of them for the continuous support.

Mission: Founded in 1873, Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School is an integral part of the Catholic Church's mission to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.  As an adult community, we share in the responsibility to prepare students for college and beyond while helping them grow to become persons of faith, virtue and wisdom.
