service of the poor as a priority, in order to evangelize and catechize, to promote peace

and justice, accomplished together as a shared mission.”

Brothers of the Christian Schools, Rome 2000

Vision 2011

In relation to our present educational apostolates, we commit ourselves to establish

a unified District Educational System led by committed, competent and creative

individuals, and characterized by synergy, interdependence and unity of vision.
