Mission and Philosophy |
||
Mission Rooted in the Servite tradition, Seven Holy Founders Catholic School exists in order to provide quality education to the children of our parish and the community, enabling them to succeed in life, leading them in faith, and encouraging them through instruction and example to serve God and others. Philosophy In catechesis "Christ, the Incarnate Word and Son of God, .. is taught - everything else is taught with reference to him - and it is Christ alone who teaches - anyone else teaches to the extent that he is Christ's spokesman, enabling Christ to teach with his lips... Every catechist should be able to apply to himself the mysterious words of Jesus: 'My Teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.'" (Catechism of the Catholic Church; 1994) Seven Holy Founders community develops and nurtures its Parish Mission Statement and programs knowing that Christ is the heart of catechesis. We are committed to ensuring that we carry out this premise; and have adopted as part of its vision: to grow in our knowledge of God and Church in all stages of our lives; to model for one another, especially our young, how to live our faith; to form people of faith through our educational settings; to proclaim through our actions our beliefs to one another and the world.
