“First and foremost every Catholic educational institution is a place to encounter the living God who in Jesus Christ reveals his transforming love and truth… Truth speaks to the individual in his or her entirety, inviting us to respond with our whole being. This optimistic vision is found in our Christian faith because such faith has been granted the vision of the Logos, God’s creative Reason, which in the Incarnation, is revealed as Goodness itself.”

“[T]he task of a teacher is not simply to impart information or to provide training in skills intended to deliver some economic benefit to society; education is not and must never be considered as purely utilitarian. It is about forming the human person, equipping him or her to live life to the full – in short it is about imparting wisdom. And true wisdom is inseparable from knowledge of the Creator…”

“Every subject you study is part of a bigger picture…. The world needs good scientists, but a scientific outlook becomes dangerously narrow if it ignores the religious or ethical dimension of life, just as religion becomes narrow if it rejects the legitimate contribution of science to our understanding of the world… A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good Catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints.”

(Pope Benedict XVI, Addresses of 17 April 2008 and 17 September 2010)

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves… But he that shall look into the perfect law of liberty, and continue in it, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed. But if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Religion, pure and immaculate with God and the Father, is this: To visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation, and to keep one’s self immaculate from this world.” (St. James i, 22, 25-27)

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them: he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him… If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our abode with him… the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.” (St. John xiv, 21, 23, xvi, 27)
