Virtues in Practice Program

Virtues in Practice is a program developed by the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia for children in grades PreK through 8th Grade. It is designed to help students grow closer to Jesus by imitating His life and virtues. The program is set up in a way that the entire school studies the same virtue each month allowing for centralized focus throughout the school and at home. There are 27 virtues covered over a three-year cycle including 81 saints who are held up as models of these virtues. This year is the Year of Faith.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
