The Core Elements
- The Sacramental life is central to developing and sustaining the Catholic Faith.
- The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Real Presence of our Lord in the Eucharist is the “source and summit” of our faith.
- The promotion of frequent reception of the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist.
With these elements, we seek to cultivate the hearts, minds, and souls of our students to their fullest potential.
- The Parents are recognized and respected as the primary educators of their children.
- The dignity of the individual, as a unique child of God, is nurtured and developed.
- The virtues are fostered and practiced in everyday life.
- The Gospel values which teach moral life as expressed in the Ten Commandments, Beatitudes, Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy are professed, cultivated and practiced.
- The importance of prayer is stressed as a source for growth in the spiritual life. Holy Hours, Rosaries, Novenas, personal prayers, and Mass attendance are stressed and encouraged.
- Our Blessed Lady’s example, as the first disciple of Jesus, is our model.
- The Word of God is revered.
- We encourage a three-fold growth in Christ through learning about Christ through learning the faith (doctrine), prayer (conversation with Christ), and service (serving Christ through our neighbor-see Matt. 25: 40-45)
- The doctrine of the Catholic faith is presented in its fullness and entirety as both knowledge to be learned and a life to be lived.
- Reading and studying the lives of the saints as an example for our lives.
