Catholic Identity
Our Catholic identity is essential to our school. We promote spiritual programs and projects within our school to promote an atmosphere of Christian values and Catholic traditions. Our school is blessed with two wonderful priests, Fr. Osang Idagbo, C.M. and Fr. Dale Maxfield, who both work with the students and staff to instill Catholic traditions and customs into each and every school day.

Catholic Schools' Week
The last week of January every year, schools around the world celebrate their Catholic Identity. At Saints Peter and Paul School, this week is a week of service and celebration as the students and staff rejoice in their faith. Dress up days, school-wide service projects, pep rallies, and decorations make this week a special week to celebrate the Catholic Spirit that we embrace.

Holy Heroes
The Catholic Identity Committee features the story of a saint in order for our families to learn more about the lives of these inspiring role models. We are so blessed as Catholics to have such a vast number of diverse people to give us hope and show us examples of how we can love and serve God. Visit our Holy Heroes page for a list of some of the many saints we have learned about in the past.
