Our school philosophy at ICA is that “we encourage a desire to grow in faith and in a personal relationship with Christ”. Faculty, staff, students and parents are all challenged to model Christian living, which is essential to the kind of community that ICA seeks to form. ICA Graduates are: Women of Faith! Students have a special way to grow in faith through Campus Ministry programs. The student Campus Ministry team works together with the school Campus Minister to provide opportunities for retreats, prayer, fun, and service.

Our Catholic identity is experienced and expressed in our school liturgy. We celebrate all holy days of obligation, as well as many important school occasions with Mass. The solemn seasons of Advent and Lent are opportunities for Reconciliation (scheduled through religion class). And, as all seasons are important opportunities for prayer, we have several non-Eucharistic prayer services as a school community.

Each school day begins with prayer led by members of the Campus Ministry team. These prayers, selected by the team, are a daily opportunity for the entire school community to gather for a moment in prayer.

The Herbst Hall chapel is open for private prayer every Wednesday at lunch.
