“A school is authentically and distinctively Catholic when it a) fosters relationships that are both human and divine, and b_ when in inculcate awareness about how knowledge, culture, and faith of all peoples are interconnected and find their true originis in God. This model presents a special Catholic character and contribution that is relational, global, and sacramental.” – an excerpt from Charism & Culture: Cultivating Catholic Identity in Catholic Schools by Timothy J.
