One of the things that makes Vandebilt truly Catholic is prayer. Students are given varied and regular experiences of prayer. The prayer life of the school has many purposes: it teaches students how to pray, it enables them to participate more fully in the Church's liturgy, it gives them a means of reflecting on their lives, and it fosters a close and enlightened relationship between them and God. Prayer suited to the needs of adolescents permeates our schools in a natural way by becoming a regular part of the classroom, extracurricular activities, school celebrations, and all gatherings of the school community. Special programs of more intense prayer and sacramental life, such as retreats and days of recollection, give our students and faculties the means to nurture their personal lives of faith.
