Consider this…
My child, remember my teachings and instructions and obey them
completely. They will help you live a long and prosperous life.
Let love and loyalty always show like a necklace, and write them in your
mind. God and people will like you and consider your a success.
With all your heart you must trust the Lord and not you own judgment.
Always let Him lead you, and He will clear the road for you to follow.
Proverbs 3:1-6 |
Mission
Statement
The
mission of Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe is the fulfillment of the
educational ministry of the Roman Catholic Church. Its primary goal is the ongoing
formation of the Christian person and aims to develop the individual's spiritual,
intellectual, social, cultural and physical endowments.
To qualify to be called a
"Catholic" school, Canon Law stipulates: |
 |
That school is considered to be
Catholic which ecclesiastical authority or a public ecclesiastical juridic person
supervises or which ecclesiastical authority recognizes as such by means of a written
document. Even if it really be Catholic, no school may bear the title "Catholic
School" without the consent of the competent ecclesiastical authority. Canon 803,
§1, §3.
Philosophy of Catholic
Education
Through its educational ministry,
the Catholic school works together with the parents, who are the primary educators of
their children, and endeavors to assist each student in the harmonious development of
his/her spiritual, physical, moral and intellectual endowments. The school strives to
provide an atmosphere of Catholic community, integrating religion and life, so that the
student may "...experience learning and living fully integrated in the light of
faith." To Teach as Jesus Did, ¶103.
|
Good character must be restored to its
historical place as a central desirable outcome of the [education] enterprise. It is
inadequate and irresponsible merely to concentrate on raising academic standards. Raising our moral standards will be the greatest gift we can give America's
children.
