Why would this be appealing for my school?
The Church teaches in her documents on education that ongoing formation is an essential aspect of the life of teachers. The strength and vigor in the faith and intellectual life of our faculty is the normal instrument that Christ uses to reach his students. Our formation seeks to provide a space to do what we as teachers fell in love with doing: pursue the Truth and encounter the Word made flesh.
What does 教会 say about formation for our educators?
"The preparation and ongoing formation of new administrators and teachers is vital if our schools are to remain truly Catholic in all aspects of school life. Catholic school personnel should be grounded in a faith-based Catholic culture, have strong bonds to Christ and 教会, and be witnesses to the faith in both their words and actions. The formation of personnel will allow the Gospel message and the living presence of Jesus to permeate the entire life of the school community and thus be faithful to the school’s evangelizing mission."

我们的哲学
The Blessed Seelos faculty formation program has three goals: To grow in friendship with the Jesus, friendship with each other and to reflect on how these first two impact the vocation of the teacher.
By 与耶稣的友谊， we mean to grow in our knowledge of Jesus that is both theological and spiritual as preserved for us in the tradition of the Catholic faith of the last two millennia. This seeks the inherent unity between the doctrine of 教会, 圣礼, the Moral life and the life of Prayer as expounded in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It also includes the true Philosophy that is implicit in this Theology that is the refining of the human mind unto wisdom which is Jesus himself.
By 彼此的友谊， we mean to grow in our relationships as faculty within the schools. To be friends means to be looking at a third thing side by side another person. A Catholic school is first and foremost a community of friends seeking to know and love the LORD and the world he made. Our work as teachers is based on this experience of leisure in the truest sense where we contemplate the world that God has made in all of its aspects. It also means having time together as humans to enjoy each other’s company and pray for each other.
By 教师的职业， we mean all the aspects of the life of being an Christian educator that are enriched by the previous two elements. 我们对耶稣的认识, 教会, 人类, the nature of reality all shape a particularly catholic view of education. This can be very practical but it starts by simply seeing the most profound truths that make up the role of the Catholic School.
