St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic parish that is called to know, love and serve God through worship, education, social justice, pastoral care and community life.
St. Vincent de Paul School philosophy is very simple. It is to call forth the best in each of us, students, parents, teachers, parishioners, in an effort to bring the message of Jesus alive.
This is to create a love of learning, a joy of reading and encouragement to put these principles into action and service.
It is to creatively use the modern tools of technology along with the proven methods of memorization.
It is to have a clear and concise philosophy with minimal rules, but an accountability that goes beyond the classroom, the walls of the school and the boundaries of the parish.
It is to create links of support so that a child's moral development can continue outside of the six hours a day spent in school.
In that process we follow the core of what our faith is about.
