The Catholic school is a most important place for human         and Christian formation. It is one of the special         functions of the Catholic school to orient the whole of         human culture to the message of the Gospel.

     When children pray, the church prays; they are the church         now.

    Because we are disciples of Jesus, we come together to         worship in community.
    When we receive Jesus in the Liturgy, we are never left         unchanged.

    

    The educational task of Catholic schools is... accomplished         in the school community, to which belong all of those         who are directly involved in it: teachers, administrative         management and auxiliary staff, parents -- central in         that they are the natural and irreplaceable educators of         their own children -- and pupils, who are participants         and active subjects... of the educational process.
