Bridges
The Bridges Program is a way for parents (both Catholic and non-Catholic) to understand the fundamental teachings of the Catholic faith presented to students in their theology classes.

Liturgies
Mass is held for the student body and guests throughout the school
year. The masses coincide with special celebrations of the church
year as well as traditions at IWA. Masses are planned by a liturgy
committee made up of students and faculty. Students fully participate
in each liturgy. Seniors are commissioned at the first all-school mass
in August as Eucharistic Ministers and juniors are commissioned as
liturgy ushers.
