Discover the Difference...

 The third apple of our logo represents what makes us different and is symbolic of who we are.

When cut horizontally, the apple has five core seeds:

First Core Seed: Formators

• Parents, as primary religious educators
• Pastors/pastoral leaders, principals, catechetical leaders, teachers, parish staff and entire community are formators

Second Core Seed: The Religion Curriculum

• Taught from K-12 in a consistent, age-appropriate way in each of our 101 schools; consists of 8 strands:
  

  - Church	- Doctrine
  - Lifestyles	- Old Testament
  - Morality	- New Testament
  - Sacraments & Prayer	- Social Teachings / Justice

Third Core Seed: Community

• Our schools are communities where students are loved and respected; where Christian behavior is expected, differences are celebrated, and families are welcomed.

Fouth Core Seed: Worship

• Students attend Mass regularly and begin each day and each class with prayer. We celebrate together our common faith; we welcome those other faiths.

Fifth Core Seed: Service

• Students are challenged to reach beyond themselves in service and works of justice to the poor, the sick, and the underprivileged.
