Parental Commitment to a Catholic Faith Life
The decision to enroll children in St. Dorothy School entails several serious responsibilities beyond the significant financial investment families make in support of their children's education. The parents of our school children are expected to embrace the spiritual responsibility of modeling adult Catholic living by their commitment to regular and active participation in the sacramental life of the Church, to integrity and consistency in everyday moral decision-making, to a personal and family prayer life, and to a generous stewardship of time, talent and treasure in service of others, both within and outside our parish community.
Parents foster their children’s faith development both by consistently encouraging their children to continue learning about the Catholic faith and by their own personal example of living the faith day to day. These two together form a strong foundation and support to the religious education and faith formation provided to children enrolled in St. Dorothy School. As the blessing of parents at the end of the Rite of Baptism proclaims: "May you, who are the first teachers of your children in the ways of the faith, also be the best of teachers, bearing example to the faith by all you say and do in Christ Jesus, our Lord".
