Gospel Values

Living as Christians

Here at Holy Souls we always try to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. To us the Gospel values '...are a guarantee of peace and of collaboration among all citizens in the shared commitment to serving the common good'.

Our school environment celebrates the message that Jesus shared in his sermon on the mount – The Beatitudes.

The sermon outlined the kind of life that a true follower of Christ should live if he seeks the kingdom of heaven. We challenge ourselves daily to live the Beatitudes. Asking ourselves the question "Who is God calling me to be?"
