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 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.

Stuartship Day lives out one of Duchesne’s five Sacred Heart Goals, “A Social Awareness which Impels to Action.” The community worked on two different service projects.
