Our
Mother of Sorrows Mission Statement
Our
Mother of Sorrows school is a PreK-8 Catholic school that serves the Tucson
community. By working collaboratively with all stakeholders, the
school achieves its mission by fostering the growth of students’
spirituality, academic potential, and community involvement.
Our
Mother of Sorrows School Philosophy
Our school philosophy is based upon the charism of our patroness, Our Mother of Sorrows:
Prayer, Contemplation, and Compassion. As a community of educators and learners, we incorporate these gifts from the charism
of Mary into our Mission Statement towards fostering the growth of students’ spirituality, academic potential, and community
involvement:
We pray so that we may become more Active (God/Conscious) Christians and grow in spiritual awareness.
We are called to be compassionate so that we may grow in commitment to community, becoming Active Community Builders and Responsible Global Citizens.
We are called to be contemplative in an awareness of all God’s gifts to us, so that we may realize our full spiritual and academic potential.
We believe that the charism of Mary through our faithfulness and prayer will collaboratively guide parents, students, and members of our larger Catholic community. It is through this charism in partnership with Mary that our students will grow spiritually and academically.
