Besides the daily classes increasing their knowledge and love of God, the students participate in liturgical and para-liturgical events allowing them to respond to the unconditional and never ending love God gives them.
Students are encouraged to live a life of prayer both formally and informally, publicly with their fellow students and privately in their hearts.
