On behalf of the St. Helen Catholic School Community, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you and your family! I thank you for your interest in our school and look forward to sharing all we can offer to your child. As expressed in our Mission Statement, we are committed to educating the whole person to see with Christ’s eyes, and we want to partner with you and your child, to raise faithful, intelligent, responsible adults who will go on to make a difference in the world. I believe that partnership with you begins today!
The great importance of Catholic education is summed up nicely in this quote from Saint Pope John Paul II to the National Catholic Educational Association of the United States:
“Yes, it is above all a question of communicating Christ, and helping His uplifting Gospel to take root in the hearts of the faithful. Be strong, therefore, in pursuing these goals. The cause of Catholic education is the cause of Jesus Christ and of His Gospel at the service of man”.
Blessings,
Mary Kay Sims
