Pius PromoTes ChrisTian Values ST. Pius, in iTs overall purpose as an insTiTuTion, has served iTs sTu- denTs in a broader range, one beyond academic worlc. One oT iTs basic, and ToremosT, obiecTives has been To insTill The aTmosphere oT ChrisTian values To The enTire school communiTy. MOST prominenT in This Trend is ThaT The insTilling oT ChrisTian awareness has gone beyond The everyday religion courses and The school name onTo a more personal basis. Thus, Daily Mass has been made available To The sTudenT body Three Times a day, and every school day has begun wiTh a prayer led by The sTudenTs oT The Religious CommiTTee oT The STu- denT Council. Special holydays and commemoraTions have oTTered The opporTuniTy Tor The enTire school To ioin TogeTher in a group Mass, Thus uniTying us Tor a special purpose. An overall view has given us The balance beTween TradiTional and conTemporary, The Tormer being BenedicTion, FirsT Friday, and a May Crowning so basic To our CaTholic TaiTh, and The laTTer being Penance Services, Shared Prayer, and Masses plan- ned by The sTudenTs which have had a greaTer relevance and meaning To Them. Days oT Renewal, Tor The pur- pose oT puTTing ChrisTianiTy in The realm oT basic human experience, have Taken on a whole new aspecT This year. Through The guidance oT FaTher Banlco, The opporTuniTy oT having a program designed To build up The communiTy has appealed To over halT The sTudenT body in The TirsT semesTer alone. Each class level has been granTed iTs own day and has been allowed To leave The conTines oT The school Tor a diTTerenT aTmosphere. BoTh Treshmen and sophomores held Their renewal days aT The Conso- laTa FaThers, The Juniors aT ST. Mary's aT ColTs Neck, and The Seniors aT Our Lady oT PrinceTon. The success oT These programs has resulTed in The proposal oT even more communiTy awareness semi- nars, such as weekend reTreaTs. Thus, Through The communiTy and Daily Masses, The worThwhile Days oT Renewal, and group prayer, The school communiTy oT ST. Pius has insTilled The basic val- ues oT ChrisTian commiTmenT in our personal lives.
