The policy, longstanding at the private school, requires three to four chapel sessions monthly. The controversy arose last spring when 13 Catholic students were barred from graduation for skipping baccalaureate services. The bishop of Portland had previously urged Catholics to abstain from non Catholic services, a stance he later limited to public schools.
