On the feast of our patron, Pope Saint John Paul II, we are reminded of his words that inspire our mission to cultivate beauty, seek truth, and do good:
“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”
As a community, we live this call through shared moments of faith and witness—whether at the 40 Days for Life, the Solemnity of Our Lady of Champion, or our Fireside Chat. In all we do, we seek to live In Illo Uno Unum—in the One who unites us — Mr. Schrieber, Headmaster.
