In our congregation's early
history, "educating for life" meant teaching - educating the young,
especially young girls. But as we gained a deeper understanding of St.
Angela's charism, "educating for life" became enfleshed in much more than
classroom teaching. We still teach, and until June 2007 we continued
to offer a well-rounded program in our own boarding school, educating young
women toward a wholesome Christian life. But we are also active in
adult faith formation, pastoral care, native, parish and prayer ministry.
We do spiritual direction and retreat ministry, tutor immigrants, minister
to the marginalized, and serve in companion care, catechetics, campus
ministry, counseling, wholistic ministry, virtual education and the fine
arts. As times and circumstances change, we open ourselves to serving
in new ministries - wherever the opportunity exists to help others grow into
their God-given potential and to experience that "abundant" life which Jesus
brings us. |
