Sacred Heart Montreal

Background

Among the goals and criteria that articulate the essence of the Sacred Heart school in the United States and Canada, Goal Three matches JPIC commitment: Commitment to educate to a social awarness 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.
