Spiritual Formation
Spiritual formation in an Archdiocesan school invites students to
see the realities of our world in new and life-giving ways. It calls them
to recognise the presence of God in daily life. Catholic school communities create experiences which assist students to live in healthy relationships, sensitive to the needs and gifts of others, based
on the belief that to be human and to be Christian is to live in
community. Such spiritual formation is transformational, leading
to a richer connection with the presence of the Spirit who heals, reconciles, renews, gives life, bestows peace, sustains hope, brings joy and creates unity.
