Catholic Schools Essay The past 7 years at Mary Queen of Peace have been a rollercoaster of so many different things. When I first joined Mary Queen in second grade, I was very scared of everyone. Through the years I have created so many different friendships and memories. Each and every teacher has taught me so much, even though when my parents ask “Did you learn anything today?” and I say no. I have learned so much in the past 7 years through amazing, different ways of teaching. I learned about things like Newton’s Laws of Motion through Fun Fridays with Mrs. Harris, how to write my mind through journal entries with Ms. Venneman, and my states with Mrs. Venker. Also, I learned about crazy math problems with Ms. Schaefer, and about different countries and their history with Mrs. Oberkirsch and Mrs. McDermott. But most importantly about my faith through all the teachers especially Mrs. Kelly. Faith is a small word with a big meaning. My catholic faith means the world to me. …show more content…
This year my grade split up and all went to different places to help people with their charity. I went to Webster-Rockhill Ministry, with a great group of people. When I got there I did not exactly know what we would be doing. They put us to work within the hour. It was surprisingly really fun. We cleaned up a kitchen and organized it, unloaded plants from trucks so they would not have to do it, and carried goods from place to place. I really enjoyed helping the people there. Last year, we went to a place called Compassion. Compassion was a group of trucks all placed together, that told the stories of three young kids in poverty from all over the world. We were given iPods so we could listen to the kids tell their story and the trucks were decorated for each scene. I remember walking out of it wanting to help. That is what stewardship is all about, helping someone other than
My time at Mary Queen of Peace has been unforgettable. I have grown in knowledge, faith, and have grown strong relationships with friends and teachers. Through our class field trips, class bonding experiences, retreats, athletics, and recess I have learned the many virtues that need to be in place for a successful day. We as an Eighth Grade class have shared many memories that I will never forget. Each day we faced a new challenge and we would again and again overcome the obstacles. I have made friends for life here and will miss seeing them every day.
My desire to work in the Catholic School system stems primarily from the ability to share my faith openly in such an environment, however, the Catholic School’s focus on the growth of the whole person, spiritual and academic and its commitment to service in the community and the world are also very important to me.
Last night at Northridge high school the Newark Catholic Green Wave rolled in Johnstown looking to sing the hometown Northridge Vikings.

Faith is my bedrock, my passion, my belief structure. I grew up under the tutelage of a God-fearing (loving) mother who emphasized the need to “trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 English Standard Version). I never let go of my belief structure, even when I joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) straight out of high school. It is this faith and the above-mentioned Proverb that guides me throughout my professional career.
Escondido Christian School (ECS) is an amazing school, but there are always areas for improvement. For example the bathrooms, better playground equipment, but what most jr. highers would like a Gaga ball pit. Now yes it will cost three hundred and ninety dollars.Yes, kids may get hurt, but in spending the money to make a pit it will save you money. If the kids play Gaga ball they will stay off the playground which means the equipment will not brake as fast.
It is important for me to attend Bishop McNamara Catholic High School because I want the best possible education I can get in high school. I need to be prepared for college and Bishop McNamara is the school that I feel would best prepare me for my college years. Bishop McNamara is also my ideal school because of the Catholic education I will receive and is very appealing because of the small size, allowing more one-on-one with the teachers.
Do you know how many of your County neighbors are barely making ends meet—often not earning enough to cover just one unexpected expense?

Rather than paying it outright, these individuals and families have to put the expense on a credit card or simply cannot cover it.
As I approach the end of my high school career, I start thinking if I am prepared and ready to face the next step in my life. College is known to test a man’s responsibility in order to prepare him to face the world alone. Jesuit High School has changed my life throughout the years I have attended the school. Jesuit has prepared me for college and taught me how to become a more responsible man. When I was thinking of where I should apply to high school, Jesuit was not my first option; however, coming from a family of Jesuit alumni, I knew it was the only school for me. Throughout my earlier years at Jesuit, I struggled and was miserable due to the overwhelming work and rules I was required to follow. However, I soon realized what the school was about in its mission in turning its students into men for others. I have found that Jesuit High School has transformed me educationally, has made me a more responsible man, and has taught me to be a man for others.

Well I grew up in a Catholic family with a grandmother who was very spiritual, and even had her own room with hundreds of saints, and she would pray to them for different requests. I never really understood church or many of the Bible stories. The church services were so discipline to me, and felt like a punishment because of the standing and kneeling all through out the service. I moved away with my mother and siblings and we ended up staying at this homeless shelter that was ran by a non denominational church, so part of our agreement to stay was to attend this church. I found this church to be open to anyone and everyone, and during our time their I got baptized. I enjoyed this church. From that time I never really considered myself Catholic, because I could never
The topic of faith is very controversial. Many believe it is merely an idea of fiction, while others hold on to miracles. For me, faith has provided comfort and strength. There is so much more to learn in my Christianity.
On Friday, March 11, I attended a Sabbath evening service at the Congregation Beth Shalom Synagogue in Naperville. Being raised and only attending the Roman Catholic Church, I was nervous about attending a service for a faith to which I did not belong and which was not even part of my heritage. However, much to my surprise what I found instead was a religious ceremony with similar origins but different beliefs. A group of Jewish people who welcomed visitors with open arms regardless of their religious faith. A community of Jews who volunteered their time an hour prior to the service so they could educated, teach and answer any of my questions I might have about the Judaism religion. I was even invited for refreshments after the service to meet the congregation. Even though, I learned Judaism and Catholicism are very different religions with different traditions, customs, beliefs and ceremonies, I also observed they both share many similarities.

My parents enrolled me into Our Lady of Grace Catholic School in 2014 creating a pivotal moment in my life. Discovering that the school has a policy about service hours made me anxious, since I am quiet and a reserved individual. At that moment, I realized that my journey was not just making respectful grades. It turned into finding myself through faith. Nonetheless, I decided to be open-minded, and see how my journey evolves.
