Evangelization is the mission of the Church; that is, she proclaims the good news of salvation to all, generates new lives in Christ through Baptism, and forms us to live knowingly as children of God. Participating in the evangelizing mission, the Catholic school is integral to the Church, which sees education as a process that, in light of our transcendent destiny, forms the whole child and seeks to fix his or her eyes on heaven.

The specific purpose of a Catholic education is the formation of boys and girls who will be good citizens of this world, loving God and neighbor and enriching society with the leaven of the gospel, and who will also be citizens of the world to come, thus fulfilling their destiny to become saints.
In collaboration with parents, Catholic education goes beyond the technical and practical aspects of schooling to help students integrate every area of knowledge within a joyful Christian vision of the human person and their eternal destiny. The physical, emotional, moral and spiritual dimensions of human development must tend to a personal synthesis of faith and life in each student. Growth in these areas prepares students for a life of service, building the Kingdom of God in society.
Disciple Development – to cultivate in students an awareness of their unique calling as a child of God; to invite students into a relationship with Jesus; to encourage students to live out this relationship in the body of Christ, the Church; to inspire students to reach out in joy in word and deed to the world.

The Catholic Worldview is about integrating our Catholic faith with our daily living. This is a worldview that is shaped by the revelation of a God who creates and sustains everything, declaring it good and gifting humanity with a special relationship to reflect the Divine image and likeness. Our story goes further, showing a God who desires to heal, forgive and redeem all who are broken by dysfunction and sin. This is proclaimed most clearly through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the followers of Jesus Christ; the Church, witness to the Good News of this Story in word and deed.
