Faith

Christ is at the heart of everything we do. Our education, guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church and the spirituality of Opus Dei, immerses students in a life of Christian virtue and helps them discover the joy of friendship with God. Whether it’s through Enrichment—when the school day pauses for daily Mass—monthly Adoration, or frequent opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Lagoon provides an environment rooted in God’s love. Our students know that faith is a gift as well as a responsibility that calls for a life of integrity and compassion. Lagoon students learn to be open to a healthy pluralism of opinions. From its founding, the school has welcomed students of all faiths or of no particular faith, and has respected the religious freedom of all. 

The spiritual guidance and doctrinal instruction offered at Lagoon is entrusted to Opus Dei, a personal prelature of the Catholic Church. At the core of Opus Dei’s mission is the teaching that all men and women are called to holiness, which can be pursued through our everyday lives and work. The spirit of Opus Dei inspires freedom, responsibility, initiative, and an environment of trust. Lagoon students are encouraged to take ownership of their faith and their decisions so they live them to the fullest in college and beyond.

Daily Mass is offered at Lagoon every morning, and many students and faculty choose to attend. 

Our chaplain, who is a priest of Opus Dei, is available every day for students and faculty who would like to receive spiritual direction or the Sacrament of Penance. Our chaplain periodically offers reflections for Doctrine classes and leads class spiritual retreats throughout the year. 

Situated in the heart of the campus, the chapel is available throughout the school day for quiet prayer.
