NON DISCRIMINATION POLICY The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single sex schools. While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

Catholics have a religious and moral obligation to be faithful citizens. We carry out this duty in many ways; by running for political office; by working within political parties; by communicating our concerns and positions to our elected officials; and by joining Church and community organizations that seek justice and the common good in society. Please visit our Resources Page! You will find resources to help you form your conscience in light of Catholic teaching and become better informed about issues of importance to the Catholic community.

Annually, World Mission Sunday is celebrated on the next-to-last Sunday in October. As described by Pope Saint John Paul II, World Mission Sunday is “an important day in the life of the Church because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration and for all the missions of the world” (see Redemptoris Missio 81). Pope Saint John Paul II has also spoken of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith’s General Fund of support, calling this a “central fund of solidarity.” In a message delivered during a World Mission Sunday, the Pope said: “The offerings that will be collected [on World Mission Sunday] are destined for a common fund of solidarity distributed, in the Pope’s name, by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith among the missions and missionaries of the entire world.” Earlier this year, Pope Francis issued his message for World Mission Day titled “Here am I, send me”, in which he discusses the [God’s] “invitation to step out of ourselves for love of God and neighbor.” Please visit https://missionsla.org/explore-programs/spof/wms/ to learn more.
