Are Heights families mostly practicing Catholics?

Are the albino monks in the room with us now? The Opus Dei thing always brings out true psychopaths lmao. Yep - you got it all figured out.

You are kidding aren’t you? Do you have any idea how bigoted you sound? Did you even bother to look him to before repeating any piece of idle female gossip that flits into your empty head? Ever even hearof the difference between political appointments and career employees? No I didn’t think so.

“Idle female gossip”?
What century are you living in?
I at from a very catholic family (think 10 kids, several close relatives currently catholic nuns, one priest, etc), and Opus Dei would be too conservative for us. We have close, very catholic (mass during the week, Trump supporter) friends who only lasted a year at The Heights bc the families in their son’s grade were extremely religiously conservative. That said, they have some close friends from the school, so it sounds like it may be grade specific.

It’s possible the distinction here is your interactions with *former* (key word!) numeraries. (Current) numeraries represent about 20% of Opus Dei members. They are celibate, and they live in special residences where they lead extremely structured lives. They work, but their income minus basic expenses goes to Opus Dei.

These practices are what people are referring too when they say numeraries are isolated from the rest of society and allow Opus Dei to have nearly total control over its members.

Yes. That’s right! It’s a *choice* they make after 6 years of discernment. Just like someone who joins the Dominicans or Franciscans or Jesuits. The only difference is that they have secular jobs. The point is that they can be a doctor, or whatever, and still live the life of a religious because that’s… what they *want* to do. They can always leave. Which my spouse did in fact do (again with maintaining friendships with members in Opus Dei).

I have no idea which side you are arguing for or against.

The Heights attracts more conservative Catholics. Know many families there and it is a fact.

It says on their website. Not like they are hiding it.

Even the teachers are OPUS DEI. I know one of the coaches personally his family has always been OPUS DEI, they would not have their kids their otherwise

Not all Heights families attend the school summer camp. They also go to other camps somewhere else in the area.

OP here, I guess what I’m looking for isn’t if the families are politically conservative (which I understand they mostly are), I’m more interested in knowing if they are conservative Catholics in which they adhere to the church’s teachings and actually participate in the life of the church, which are two totally different things.

We are at a diocese school connected to a vibrant parish, but I’d say only 20% of the school families attend Mass regularly.

Connected to which church or parish, though? If you are finding your current school lacking because only 20% regularly attend Mass, you'll see even fewer Heights families at Mass because they are spread out across parishes.
I suspect on the whole you'll find that most Heights families go to mass fairly regularly. I'm not sure that attendance shows up in the culture or fabric of the school however because it is distributed attendance.

No just at any Catholic church, not the one we attend. Just want to make sure it’s not more of the same of where we are currently attending.

Yes, Heights families are regular churchgoers. But they attend mass at their home parish.
