An important distinguishing element of the Catholic school is the celebration of the Eucharist within the school as well as other sacraments. This is being done in such a way that there is harmony between the celebration of the sacraments and the other daily school programmes.

There is regular Sunday and desirably, weekday masses in all schools with boarding facilities. At other times, it is strongly recommended that in all Catholic schools, Patron feasts, inauguration of the academic year, prize-giving days and other special occasions should begin with Holy Mass or some appropriate prayer. Sacramental confessions are being organized at fixed regular periods in all boarding schools and also non boarding schools. Preparation for First Holy Communion and Confirmation, when these are needed, are being encouraged. However, these pastoral activities should always respect the time for scheduled programmes of the school. Schools should have functional chaplains appointed by the Archbishop officially, to see to the spiritual needs of the students.
