Background

Among the goals and criteria that articulate the essence of the Sacred Heart school in the United States Goal Three matches JPIC commitment: Commitment to educate to a social awareness which impels to action.

  • The school educates to a critical consciousness that leads its total community to analyze and reflect on the values of society and to act for justice.
  • The school offers all its members opportunities for direct service and advocacy and instills a life-long commitment to service.
  • The school is linked in a reciprocal manner with ministries among people who are poor, marginalized and suffering from injustice.
  • In our multicultural world, the school prepares and inspires students to be active, informed, and responsible citizens locally, nationally, and globally.
  • The school teaches respect for creation and prepares students to be stewards of the earth's resources.

Activities

For 12 wednesdays throughout the school year, the entire Stone Ridge upper school shares in an assembly rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, then goes out and does service then comes back for small groups of shared prayer and reflection. We partner with service organisations throughout the DC metropolitan area.
