FAITH
Muskegon Catholic Schools provide ample opportunities for our students from Pk-12 to establish a relationship with their faith. Through opportunities for service, retreats and prayer MCC highlights the aspect of education that is the student's Spirit.
SERVICE LEARNING
At Muskegon Catholic Central, our service to others is based on the Gospel; Christ calls us to serve others. In addition, the tradition of the Catholic Church gives us the Works of Mercy and the Principles of Catholic Social Teaching to guide us. At MCC, we believe service is an integral part of our Catholic Faith, and a key component of the Crusader spirit.
