As we anticipate the parent conversations regarding our living of the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart Education, I invite you to reflect on one Goal each week between now and our March 27th special General PCC Meeting.
This week, I invite you to consider GOAL 1 and its criteria:
Schools of the Sacred Heart commit themselves to
A PERSONAL AND ACTIVE FAITH IN GOD
- Rooted in the love of Jesus Christ, the school promotes a personal relationship with God and fosters the spiritual lives of its members.
- The school seeks to form its students in the attitudes of the heart of Jesus expressed in respect, compassion, forgiveness and generosity.
- The entire school program explores one’s relationship to God, to self, to others, and to all creation.
- Opening themselves to the transforming power of the Spirit of God, members of the school community engage in personal and communal prayer, reflection and action.
- The entire school program affirms that there is meaning and value in life and fosters a sense of hope in the individual and in the school community.
- The school fosters inter-religious acceptance and dialogue by educating to an understanding of and deep respect for the religions of the world.
- The school presents itself to the wider community as a Christ-centered institution and as an expression of the mission of the Society of the Sacred Heart.
As you reflect on how we live this Goal, I invite you to view a snapshot of various aspects of life here at the Academy where we are trying to live this aspect of journey to God:
United with you in the living of God’s love,
