This year the Religion Department has introduced a new spiritual component to its curriculum called the Nooma Hour. Nooma means "Breath of the Spirit". Each month, a different theme is selected to reflect the liturgical calendar and the classroom is transformed into a sacred place of prayer. Listen to what students are saying: "The teachings of Jesus Christ and Nooma has helped me understand myself and become closer to God." "I am able to reflect on my life and get closer to God." "Nooma connects me to what is going on in my life and understand where God is in the middle of it all." At Benedictine Academy, we believe Jesus Christ is the first teacher of every classroom. How blessed are we to be able to freely acknowledge the one true Lord of our lives!
