Description

“In its ecclesial dimension another characteristic of the Catholic school has its root: it is a school for all, with special attention to those who are weakest” (The Catholic School on the Threshold of the Third Millennium, 1997, 15).
“Every school and every place of non-formal education can become a centre of a greater network which, from the smallest village to the most complex metropolis, wraps the world in hope. It is in education, in fact, that the promise of a more human future and a more harmonious society lies” (Consecrated Persons and their Mission in Schools, 2002,84).
