We accept the challenge of the Gospel to act compassionately, to provide experience of prayer, and to encourage strong loving relationships among students, parents, teachers, administrators, parishes, and the larger community that contribute to a continual growth in faith, hope, and love.
Our purpose is to nourish young people in faith and to develop their talents for growth and service to others.
We understand ourselves as a complement to parents in providing education to their children.
We are committed to the church's mandate to share the Gospel message to build community and to model service, while providing quality education.
