National Theme: Catholic Schools: Character, Compassion, and Values

Vocation of a Student

God has called you to be a student in a Catholic school. Therefore, you…

Do your best in study and work,
Seek to know Christ by studying His life and words,
Strive to become Christ-like and be an example to others,
Share your thoughts with Christ as you would your best friend,
Participate actively in the Eucharist,
Desire to know the universe as God’s creation and care for it,
Love the truth and search for it,
Examine statements and do not accept them blindly,
Work with a sense of responsibility,
Accept difficulties with courage,
Respect all people because God has created them, and
Help others.

If your class will not be finished with their service project, you could make a board showing what you intend to do. Remember homeroom teachers, not religion teachers, are responsible for class service projects.
