PCA uses a Virtues in Practice Program. Each month we focus on a specific virtue and different grade levels learn about a saint who exemplifies that virtue. At the end of month, there will be a family assignment to complete about the virtue. Each class will choose a Disciple of the Month based on the virtue.

March's virtue of the month is TEMPERANCE. Temperance is enjoying things in a proper, balanced way.

Saints of the Month:

grades PK-2: St. Teresa of Avila

grades 3-5: St. Camillus de Lellis

grades 6-8: Ven. Matt Talbot

If you would like more information about the Virtues in Practice Program, you can visit the website: https://www.nashvilledominican.org/apostolate/evangelization-and-catechesis/virtues-in-practice/
