Communion in Mission, Mission as Communion
The Mission
“To give a human and Christian education to the
young, especially in schools, with the service
of the poor as a priority, in order to evangelize
and catechize, to promote peace and justice,
accomplished together as a shared mission.”
from the 42nd General Chapter of the
Brothers of the Christian Schools, Rome 2000
Vision 2011
In relation to our present educational
apostolates, we commit ourselves to establish
a unified District Educational System led by
committed, competent and creative
individuals, and characterized by synergy,
interdependence and unity of vision.
