Besides the theoretical training presented in formal education, the students at S.I.H.S. receive the proper spiritual nourishment required to build strong qualities of character and leadership. Daily Mass, lenten services, rosary devotions, and many other religious activities are provided for the students. Upon participating in these functions, they receive grace, both supernatural and actual-grace to guard them safely through the day, to put every spare moment to good use, to respect their teachers and superiors, and to be kind to their fellow-students. All this, and more, awaits each student daily, As he enters the building, he meets a new World, one unlike anything which he may have witnessed previ- ously. The Priests and Sisters present the facts. The students absorb them and mold their lives into shining masterpieces to be looked upon by everyone as perfect models of Christian youth.
