动画的信念 & 核心价值观
Drawing on our Catholic and Ignatian traditions, the following beliefs animate the work of the 罗氏天主教教育中心:
We believe education is about forming the heart, mind, and soul. In Ignatian spirituality, attention to holistic formation is known as the 看台personalis，或“关心整个人”.“认识到个人不仅仅是他们的思想，我们的课程是围绕他们设计的 电子游戏软件的三角队形, 我们关注精神世界, 公共, and intellectual dimensions of formation, with specific attention to the unique gifts and vocation of the Catholic educator.
我们为魔法师而奋斗. 魔法师 翻译过来就是“更多”,” signifying that we strive for excellence in all we do, and recognizing that all we do is for the greater glory of God.
我们是旅途上的伙伴. We accompany others on the journey of life, sharing our gifts and honoring the talents of others, 同时追求公平正义. 就像我们对别人来说是女人和男人一样, we do this with special attention to the needs of the poor and marginalized.
我们在一切事物中看到上帝. A tenet of Ignatian spirituality is the understanding that God is in all things, 从难以置信的千载难逢的机会到看似平凡的日常生活. 我们把我们的事工看作是专注于圣灵的运动和方向的实践.
We are committed to bringing about a socially just and equitable world. We form and educate persons as agents of change who engage in critical thought, 关于道德和伦理问题的对话, and contribute to excellence and equity in Catholic education.
我们将天主教教育工作者培养成适应性强、细心、有远见、谦逊和快乐的人.
在依纳爵的适应性传统中被塑造意味着我们愿意让上帝塑造和改变我们. Through curiosity and genuine interest in others, 我们对新的观察方式持开放态度, 理解和行动. 适应能力要求我们在当下面对上帝的活动，这样我们就能以创造性的、与情况一致的方式作出反应, while also being compassionate and constructive. When we understand that God’s activity permeates the present moment, 我们能够放弃固执，这种固执常常剥夺我们自己和他人探索的机会, 改变和成长.
在依纳爵的专注传统中形成，意味着我们对自己内心的运动保持警惕. 在反射, we become aware of the unique ways in which God is loving us, including how God communicates with and through our lives and unique situations. 这也意味着我们也与上帝爱他人的方式相协调，并通过他们的生活和世界的活动来工作. 细心的ness is a habit of the heart that helps us see God in all things, and that helps us detect God’s fingerprints as we walk through the world.
在依纳爵的视觉传统中形成，意味着我们渴望像上帝一样去看. Aware that our own perspective is much narrower 和更多的 limiting than God’s, we ask for the corrective lenses of grace to see ourselves, others and the world in new and enriching ways. While the process can feel dizzying and disorienting, 我们相信上帝完美的愿景——我们渴望成为我们自己的愿景——会让我们看得更清楚, 广泛和包容.
在依纳爵的谦卑传统中形成，意味着我们承认在上帝面前我们是美丽的马赛克和整体. This includes our talents and tendencies as well as our limitations and lack, and how we love and live in the world. Humility does not demand that we ‘shrink’ to become less than we are; rather it challenges us to recognize that all we are and all we have, as well as who we are becoming is wholly dependent on God. The foundation for all other virtues, 谦卑让我们承认我们不能独自生活，我们需要上帝和他人——不仅仅是为了生活, 但是要想茁壮成长. 真正的谦卑总是释放的，因为它给神留下空间和责任.
在依纳爵的喜乐传统中成长，意味着我们关注内心的情绪和感受，因为我们所经历的喜乐和平安，是上帝对我们的愿望的良好指示. 虽然快乐是短暂的，可以随着事件或互动而波动，但快乐是稳定的. It lingers long after happiness has come and gone, and it urges us to stay the course in difficult times. Joy is the subtle constant that reminds us that fear, 暴力, destruction and death do not have the final word.
