Mission Statement
Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary, a College Preparatory School owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, provides an educational environment which promotes Gospel values, celebrates diversity, develops self-worth and respect for others, encourages personal responsibility, and challenges students to share their gifts in building a just and peaceful society and to fulfill the RSHM mission – that all may have life.
Principal Chambers stated:
It is our obligation as Catholic educators who share the RSHM Mission and who share the life of Christ within us to ignite a flame within our students to live Christ’s mission of life and bring that life to those they touch. Integrating the life-giving message of Christ’s love into our teaching of this mission should become as important as integrating breathing into living. We must strive in ourselves and our students a love for all of creation, including and especially those who make us uncomfortable. It must be palpable and it must be plain. This is quite an undertaking for an entire community. But it is what makes this mission and those called to it so crucial, that is the challenge of formerly RSHM administered schools who are inspired and called by this living RSHM mission.Read more about this topic: Cantwell-Sacred Heart Of Mary High School
Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
