Mission Statement of Saint’s Alive! Catholic School

Roman Catholic tradition, promoting Gospel values and

creating life-long learners.

Back to the Document: A World in Transition: Faith and

TechnologyTechnology is one of the most marvelous expressions of the human spirit, but it is not an unmixed blessing 2: 33

This same technology threatens the unity and even the future of mankind 2: 35

…profound human needs endure, and the educational mission of the Church must use old ways and new to meet them 2: 40

Technological progress equips man with sophisticated means of communication, analysis and research.2: 34

Faithful to the past and open to the future, we must accept the burden and welcome the opportunity of proclaiming the Gospel of Christ in our times. 2: 41
