One Family in Mission – We Are all Missionaries!

CHILDREN HELPING CHILDREN

Forming Missionary Disciples!

“I encourage educators to cultivate in little ones the missionary spirit, so that there may arise from among them witnesses of the tenderness of God and announcers of his love.” — Pope Francis, Solemnity of the Epiphany 2015
