Spiritual Life

To Inspire Hearts to Unite, Minds to Inquire, and Hands to Serve

As a Catholic high school following the Augustinian tradition, the programs in the Department of Campus Ministry emphasize the importance of lives of faith and service to others in support of Austin Preparatory School's Mission.

The school hosts an annual Blue Mass for First Responders, to honor and thank the police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians who put their lives on the line for others.

Parents who are First Responders, as well as representatives from Reading Police, Fire and EMTs are invited to the all-school Mass. Following the Mass, we invite First Responders to enjoy a full breakfast prepared by the school’s dining service.

Today we honor the dedication, heroism and sacrifice of the men and women here today and those who are not here today. It takes a special kind of person to do their work
