Opus Dei is a personal prelature of the Catholic Church founded in 1928 by St. Josemaría Escrivá, who was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002. Its mission is to help people turn their work and daily activities into occasions for growing closer to God, for serving others, and for improving society. Within Northridge and in concert with the local bishop, Opus Dei oversees the religious education and spiritual formation offered to for the school’s parents, teachers, and students.
Many of the special strengths of Northridge Prep reflect the spirit of Opus Dei:
- Academic excellence by striving for personal holiness in ordinary work
- Individual character formation through a one-on-one advisory program
- Outstanding teachers who exemplify Christian principles
- Practical classes on parenting skills and character development
- An atmosphere imbued with optimism, cheerfulness, and friendliness
At the center of life at Northridge is an effort to help each person involved with the school to take his faith seriously by living it in his particular circumstances. To achieve this end, Opus Dei offers: - Individual spiritual attention
- Mass and Confession
- Classes on the teachings of the Catholic Church
- Evenings of recollection and retreats
