Sts. Peter & Paul School - Mission Statement

Sts. Peter & Paul School

Mission Statement

The mission of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School is rooted in upholding the dignity, worth, and call to holiness of each member of the school community, as commanded by Jesus Christ. We believe that faithfulness to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church brings forth a desire to become saints. In practicing a sacramental life, fidelity to God’s laws, and deep personal prayer, one will be able to heed the admonition of Saint Paul: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12: 2). Each student will be formed using the cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance as a guide in developing future leaders of the Catholic Church. As Catholic educators, guided by the Holy Spirit, we intend to develop our students physically, mentally, and spiritually; and invite their families to partake in the experience of learning, living, and worshipping in an authentic Catholic school environment.
