Education
We recognize that education, for adults as well as children, is a primary means of fulfilling our commitment to spread the Gospel and to promote the dignity of the person and the building of community. We embrace the ministry of education in all its dimensions: knowledge of the faith, liturgy, moral formation, prayer, community life and mission. Through education and formation for ministry we seek to bring people into communion and intimacy with Jesus Christ, to build fellowship in the life of the Holy Spirit, to prepare our members to proclaim the Good News and to translate this proclamation into action. We recognize that, “the Christian vocation is a call to transform oneself and society with God’s help, the educational efforts of the Church must encompass the twin purposes of personal sanctification and social reform in light of Christian values.” (To Teach as Jesus Did, A Pastoral Message on Catholic Education, United States Catholic Bishops).
