As we celebrate Catholic education around the country this week, we at this Academy certainly have a great deal to celebrate relative to this year’s theme: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service!
As a community of FAITH – we strive to invite each child, in the depths of each of their hearts, through prayer, the sacraments and interior quiet, to come to experience, know and enter into a personally loving relationship with the God who is Love.
As a community of KNOWLEDGE – we strive to engage each child’s intellect with joy, energy, enthusiasm at a level of depth and substance. We try to engage in thinking that is analytical, synthetic, creative and reflective.
As a community of SERVICE – we strive to provide our students with a critical awareness for the need to be of service, we hope to engender the theological imperative that to live a life of faith requires us to be of service, and we desire to offer real opportunities, thus allowing our students to experience the joy and gift one receives which comes from having experienced being of service.
Let’s pause and reflect on the gift of a Sacred Heart Catholic education! It is a gift that students might want to thank their parents for this week.
