Family Life

“In connection with the prophetic function is that state of life which is sanctified by a special sacrament obviously of great importance, namely, married and family life. For where Christianity pervades the entire mode of family life, and gradually transforms it, one will find there both the practice and an excellent school of the lay apostolate. In such a home husbands and wives find their proper vocation in being witnesses of the faith and love of Christ to one another and to their children. The Christian family loudly proclaims both the present virtues of the Kingdom of God and the hope of a blessed life to come. Thus by its example and its witness it accuses the world of sin and enlightens those who seek the truth” (Lumen Gentium, ch. IV).

We believe...

Not in a philosophy of retreating from the world but of strengthening our faith and family first so that we may engage the world in a loving and truthful manner.

Respect for Family Life also means we adapt our academic schedule to support the sanctity of home life. We encourage families to eat dinner as a family every night, to make time for prayer, to allow for outdoor exploration and to complete homework at co-op or at home by 2:30pm so that a good quality of life and learning might be maintained.

Since our mission includes the fostering of family life, we encourage parents to take an active part in their children's education by volunteering and engaging in co-op operations in addition to being the main educators of their home. We believe that the consistent interaction and participation by committed parents, and fellow Catholic family members, will increase and strengthen the family and wellbeing of the children and the larger community.
