St. Paul’s Parish is a faith community that lifts embodies these three priorities—
first, faith, the foundation of our life;
then, academics, the learning that characterizes our schools;
and finally service, putting our faith and learning to work helping others.
These three priorities make our Catholic schools stand out from other educational institutions. Our students are taught faith—not just the basic tenets of Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God. Students are taught academics, which in our Catholic schools are held to very high standards, to help each child reach his or her potential. They also experience service, the giving of one’s time and effort to help others, as an expression of both faith and good citizenship.
There are nearly 7,000 Catholic schools in the U.S., with more than 2 million students. St. Paul’s Schools and its students stand out because education, the process of learning, is a key value of our parish. We understand that before we can love God, neighbor and self, we must know something about ourselves. We believe that “The glory of God is humanity fully alive,” and we know that the fullness of life comes when we know, understand and appreciate God’s wondrous creation.
