Catholic Heritage

Marianapolis was founded in 1926 by the Congregation of Marians of the Immaculate Conception and aims to educate high school students in the Catholic tradition of academic excellence, with a commitment to an active faith in God and a dedication to building character with content, compassion, and integrity.

• Four Penance services throughout the year
• Confession, offered daily
• Evening Sunday Mass for boarding students
• Theology course offerings
• A Community Service Coordinator and Director of Campus Ministry, Michelle Murphy, who organizes multiple religious retreats as well as community service opportunities throughout the year.
• Knights Quest themes which encourage teachers to promote Catholic teachings
• Interact Club, which organizes outreach projects in the community
• Mission trips
• Disaster Relief Club, which brings awareness and support to areas hurt by natural disasters
