We believe
That God,
Through gifts of creation,
The sending of Jesus in the Incarnation,
And the communication of redemption through the Holy Spirit,
Invites each person to a special relationship
Of life-sharing decision,
Fully Human
After the manner of Jesus Christ,
Who is the perfect expression of the human person graced by God.
Jesus, as Incarnate Son of the Father,
Models human participation in the divine, and,
As Resurrected Lord,
Is the exemplar of the eternal destiny of all.
Catholic education
Must be supportive
From birth to death
Of each person’s development of full humanity
With consideration given
To each one’s individual needs and limitations.
It assists the individual
To reflect upon the personal experiences of life
In the human community
In the light of
Its wisdom
And the graced insights
Including divine revelation

We dream of a people
Living their whole lives
According to the Christ they have received,
Rooted in their love of Him and of His love for them,
Built on their common hopes and aspirations,
Held firm by the faith that has been handed on to them,
And full of joy and thanksgiving.
This people is called to live out that reality as a community by:
- Evangelization through Preaching the Gospel, Communication and
awareness of God’s presence, Proclaiming that life has meaning;
- Enabling people at all stages in their life to reflect upon and integrate
the experiences of their lives and thus deepen their faith;
- Reaching out, individually as well as organizationally, in Christian
care and concern to those in need;
- By celebrating together the hope of the fullness of life, which is Christ
Jesus.
We dream of a School Board,
Giving informed and strong leadership to all areas of education, and
giving support and encouragement to its staff.
We dream of leadership,
Laity, bishops, priests, religious –
Involved in a continuing and comprehensive process of renewal and
mutual support.
