As a reminder, we strive to incorporate the Education in Virtues program into our daily schedule. This program focuses on the development of the whole person and equips our children to strive for holiness, which is where we will find true happiness.
Each week, we are focusing on a particular virtue as a school. Students have been learning the definition as well as what living the virtue looks and sounds like in our actions and words. Over the next two weeks, we will focus on Kindness and Loyalty.
Kindness (Week of September 18)
Meaning
Expressing general concern for the well-being of others and anticipating their needs.
Ways to Cultivate
-
Ages 6 and up: Talk to someone who seems sad, ask if others need help.

Ages 12 and up: Practice speaking, thinking, and acting kindly even when someone is not being kind to you.

Dear Jesus, you are kindness itself. I desire to show charity toward my neighbor through my thoughts, words, and actions. When others meet me, let them meet YOU in me!
