Their advancement is toward a final goal and the process is through daily action. Religion lessons especially stress the importance of think- ing, speaking, and acting as Christ with Christian deeds, reflecting the knowledge that everyone has a life's work to fulfill for his Creator. On Wednesday the entire student body offers adoration to Christ at Mass. During this Mass they make thanksgiving for past blessings and petitions for future blessings.
