[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t underestimate how much religion happens at Catholic k-8s in addition to weekly mass.  Praying several times a day, learning prayers in Spanish for Spanish class, w
writing projects about saints, all the best traditions revolving around Christmas and Lent. A Jewish family would be welcomed and probably a lot of people wouldn’t even know, but I don’t know why you’d do it. You’d end up resenting all the time taken from academics. Even some Catholics struggle with that aspect of Catholic k-8. [/quote]

Did you go to Catholic school?  It sure doesn’t sound like it.   For starters, “weekly Mass” is extremely uncommon.  That wasn’t even happening when I was in Catholic school decades ago.  It was monthly — the first Friday to be exact.   [/quote]

My 4 kids went to St Agnes in Arlington. Weekly mass, no exceptions. Even the short weeks. My examples above were just the tip of the iceberg. I didn’t go to Catholic school (DH did) and I was surprised, even though I am devout and practicing. First communion and confirmation years are even more. [/quote]

Yep.  So it seems (I just posted the question on the religion forum).  I stand corrected![/quote]

Don't forget Religion class. Our Catholic school has religion class 3-4 times a week. This is separate from weekly mass. It's a lot for non-Catholics. [/quote]
