chapel

Chapel services start off Tuesday and Thursday mornings at Holy Spirit. Attendance and participation at chapel are required of all students and faculty. The service consists of songs, hymns, Bible readings and prayers.

The traditions of the Episcopal Church are followed (rite, liturgy, and ritual). Generally students sit for instruction or to listen to scripture, stand to praise God through songs or hymns, and kneel to pray.

In Christian education class, the subjects vary greatly from year to year, but they often touch on the history of the Christian Church, the contents of the Old and New Testaments, the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the Liturgy of the Church. Students in lower and middle school attend Christian education classes weekly.

Although an Episcopalian school, Holy Spirit respects other faiths and makes no efforts to proselytize.
