We, as cherished members of a Christian Catholic community, are called to be Christ for others and to see Christ in others; to provide a loving environment wherein all may grow in faith, wisdom, and knowledge.
We strive to provide an environment wherein all grow in faith, wisdom, and knowledge.
The children who attend Our Lady Of Good Counsel School are guided to know and live their faith as followers of Jesus from the scriptures, traditions, and teachings of the Church.
They witness this faith through prayer, worship with the faith community, and service to others by choosing Gospel values in daily living.
