Our Lady of Sorrows School, as a school dedicated to Catholic ideals, has a purpose which distinguishes it from secular schools.
We are committed to excellence in education in order that we may render Christians more effective in today's society.
As disciples, Christian leaders, and good Christian parents, those of us formed by Catholic education will permeate the outside community and world-at-large with Christian attitudes and principles.
Calling men to the faith by proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ is the mission that Christ has given to His church.
The Catholic Church in this diocese willingly assumes its obligation to fulfill this mission by establishing Catholic schools to give her members that “…kind of education through which their entire lives can be penetrated with the spirit of Christ…” (Vatican II Declaration on Christian Education).
Responsibility for these schools is shared by each member of the Catholic community.
Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School fosters the religious, academic, and social development of every child, recognizing that knowledge enlightened by faith and realized through service is at the heart of Catholic education.
