Faith

---

Visitors and guests will find proof of our Catholic Faith and our love for God and Mary our Holy Mother throughout the halls and classrooms of St. Adalbert Catholic School.  

At St. Adalbert Catholic School our Catholic Identity is very strong. Students daily have many opportunities to learn, practice and live their faith.  It is  a part of our curriculum as well as a seamless part of our daily lives. As a school community we pray and together several times a day: before school, before classes, before lunch, and before we go home for the day. We attend Mass weekly and attend Masses during special liturgical seasons and on Holy Days of Obligation.  

 Our students participate fully in the Sacraments—including sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in second grade, opportunities for confession, and preparation for Confirmation in eighth grade. In forth grade, students  spend much time learning about the Saints and dressing as their Saint for the All Schools Mass for which we travel to Notre Dame to celebrate with the Bishop.

St. Adalbert open its doors in 1911 to serve the immigrant Polish population. We were under the direction, for many decades,  of the Franciscan Sisters of the.  Congregation of the Sisters of St. Felix . St. Adalbert Catholic School is owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne South Bend. Our school's operation is now sponsored by the Congregation of Holy Cross. You will frequently hear "Ave Crux, Spes Unica" "Hail the Cross, Our only Hope" throughout our hallways, in our lunchroom, classrooms, and playgrounds.
