The Heart of Our School
Faith is at the heart of everything we do here at Frassati Catholic High School. Like all Catholic schools, we exist to extend the Church’s evangelizing mission by encouraging every student, teacher, parent, and staff member to build a relationship with Christ. Steeped in the inheritance of St. Dominic, Frassati Catholic’s approach is to propose, not impose, the Catholic faith by revealing its beauty, truth, and goodness.
Like the sower in the Gospel, we want to prepare the soil so that the grace of Christ can take root in the hearts of our students. We seek to offer our students opportunities where they can hear His voice—through prayer, through solid and dynamic religious instruction, through participation in the life of the sacraments, and through service to others. Our goal is that students who come to Frassati Catholic High School will leave more convinced of their own call to holiness and more willing to respond to the specific way God is calling them to bring Him to the world.

The Blessed Sacrament Chapel
The Blessed Sacrament Chapel, our campus chapel, is open to students. Whether they are participating in group prayer with peers, or spending quiet time for reflection, our students are encouraged to take advantage of the chapel.

All School Mass
Every week, our community comes together to celebrate Mass, typically at 9:15am in our Assembly Hall on Fridays unless there is a special Solemnity or Holy Day of Obligation that week. We welcome celebrants from many of the parishes in the North Houston area. These celebrations out of a school week provide students with the opportunity to take precious time to gather at the Lord's table.
Look for our Mass times on our school calendar. We welcome all guests including parents, extended family, or community members. If you would like to attend Mass on Friday's with us, check the school calendar to confirm the schedule for that week, and then check in at the front office in the main Academic Building when you arrive. Try to get there at around 9am so there's plenty of time to check in and make your way to the Assembly Hall.

Monthly Eucharistic Adoration
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati frequently attended all-night Eucharistic Adoration, cultivating his relationship with the Lord. Through their religion classes, students have dedicated time each month for Eucharistic Adoration to spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. By imitating our patron, Frassati Catholic students have the opportunity to deepen their personal relationship with Jesus.

Pilgrimages
Pilgrimages hold a central role in the faith life of all Catholics, serving as a journey with a purpose; a journey to honor God. At Frassati Catholic, we engage in pilgrimages so that our students will become becoming witnesses for Christ and understand the importance of the Church in today’s society. We have participated in the last two World Youth Days (Krakow 2016, Panama 2019), yearly pilgrimages to Austin for the Texas Rally for Life, and locally at the March of the Surviving Youth (MOTSY). Students return energized about their faith, and resolute in their call to become agents of change in modern culture.
-
Yearly Class Retreats
All four classes at Frassati Catholic participate in yearly class retreats. These retreats are designed to build community while creating space to experience the love of God. Our students come back feeling refreshed and ready to live out their call to be men and women of the Beatitudes.

Year-Round Litergical Devotions
Throughout the year the Frassati Catholic community practices liturgical living by celebrating the richness of the Catholic faith. Many of our Masses are dedicated to a particular feast, solemnity, or celebration observing the liturgical calendar, and we have Marian devotions, including Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, and May Crowning, to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our students pray before each class, the Culture of Life club prays the Rosary each Monday after school, and there is a student led Divine Mercy Chaplet prayed during lunch every school day.
