Why Light of Christ Catholic Schools?
Why is a Catholic education important?
It is important for the same reason as it was in 1878, when Father Chrysostom Foffa, OSB and a handful of Benedictine Sisters stood on the central North Dakota prairie and organized the first school in the Bismarck, Dakota Territory. It is important for the same reason today as it will be for generations to come.
A Catholic education invests in the whole student, mind and soul. Faith is at the center of everything we do.
It is an extension of family life, supporting parents and grandparents by reinforcing the Catholic beliefs they teach at home.
Students live and breathe the Sacraments on a daily basis.
It is celebrating the Eucharist weekly with classmates and teachers.
It is prayer when classes begin, before game balls are tossed, if a student needs support.
It is excellence in academics that fortifies faith and creates a strong moral and ethical foundation.
It is sporting programs that emphasize integrity and fair play.
It is music and art filling the hallways and concert venues to glorify God.
Quietly and loudly, it radically changes lives in a meaningful way. Its impact in our community, our state, our country is too enormous to grasp.
It is Christ at work.
