Our religious education, service learning, community Masses, peer retreats, and opportunities for faith, reflection, and personal development guide our students to connect with enduring values and take action for the common good.
Above all, we are guided by our Charism – spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit – to find God in all things. We embrace our diverse community. We honor strength of character. We rise to academic excellence. We cherish the earth and all living things. We stand for social justice. We seek and hold onto joy.
