Mission Statement

At Our Lady of Grace Catholic Parish School, we believe that children are miracles of God who thrive in a strong community rooted in faith, service, and outstanding academics. (Rev. 9-2024)

Philosophy
 
At Our Lady of Grace Catholic Parish School, we believe that every person is created in the image and likeness of God and, in this sense, is a great miracle of God. 
As God Himself is a communion of persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - we too are called to live in a communion of love with God and neighbor. Indeed, as St. Augustine said so well, “you have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” Since God has imprinted His very image and likeness in our hearts and minds, our lives find their ultimate meaning and purpose in communion with God and others. This is why children flourish in a strong community and the reason we at Our Lady of Grace Parish School seek an ever more perfect unity.  

We recognize that prioritizing our relationship with God will strengthen our faith and collective bond with one another, and help us see one another as brothers and sisters in the Lord. As authentic love draws us outside of ourselves, we insist on cultivating a spirit of giving and service among our students and community. Finally, we understand and accept our sublime challenge to foster the growth of our students’ academic abilities. This rigorous academic pursuit is animated by the understanding that our academic endeavors are always aimed at the service of others in order to build the kingdom of God. (Rev. 9-2024)
