OLSH Faculty/Staff Creed
As a member of the faculty and staff at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School I believe that I have been called by God to manifest the Person of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Faith to the students entrusted to my care, and to teach and model the Charism and Core Values of the Felician Sisters.I believe young people have a God-given right to know the Truth, and to develop themselves fully as graced human beings, and my companionship with them calls me to help them deepen their faith.
I will foster in my students, and in myself, a loving respect for the dignity of all and a commitment to justice and peace. My work is a trust to create an environment of educational excellence, respect for our unique traditions, and a commitment to personal honesty and integrity. I will maintain a responsible and encouraging sense of discipline as hallmarks in the formation of good Christian citizens.

In keeping with the mission of the Catholic Church and the values and spirit of the Felician Sisters, and in union with Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, I seek to be an
instrument that leads OLSH students to the gift of salvation, which God intends as the ultimate destination of our life journeys.

Solidarity with People in Need - Ensuring the needs of the poor and vulnerable are met through advocacy and action
Mother Angela gathered children...orphans and the elderly who seemed to be alone and neglected. She gained their confidence and discovered their life stories. The children received an education and the needy learned handicrafts.
Justice and Peace - Forging right relationships, re-creating a sustainable environment, promoting the common good, all in the pursuit of peace
"A community spirit does not just happen of itself. It flows from people who share a common tradition and strive for a common goal outside themselves." -- Blessed Mary Angela
