Our Mission & Catholic Identity

Server receiving Jesus

St. Croix Catholic School unites with families to form scholars, disciples, and servant leaders. Our mission shapes every moment of our day, from the first prayer of the morning to the last lesson of the afternoon.

Who we are

Through His Holy Cross (“Saint Croix”), Christ has already redeemed the world. In His goodness and love, Jesus Christ calls each of us to participate in His ongoing work of redemption. St. Croix Catholic School strives to answer this call by forming the hearts of its students for communion with Christ and His Church, both here on earth and in the life to come.

Our mission

At St. Croix Catholic School, we believe that the world was created good and beautiful by God, who is Love. Due to original sin, however, we live in a fallen world. The current culture, while it can boast many good creations and advances, tends toward distraction, disintegration, and isolation. But like the world in every era, it has the potential to be touched by Christ’s redemptive grace and turned back to God through those who embody His love: the saints. Here at St. Croix Catholic School, we partner with parents to form the next generation of saints who transform the world.

The unique gift of each child

Every human person, including every child, is made in the image of God, endowed with inherent dignity, and called to be a saint. At St. Croix Catholic School, families and educators unite to provide each child with the intellectual, moral, social, and spiritual formation they need to live a holy life here on earth and to live forever with God in heaven.

Forming saints

In addition to rigorous academic achievement and integration, St. Croix Catholic School prizes virtue formation that is attentive to human development at each stage of a child’s growth. The spiritual life of each child, their relationship with Jesus Christ, is fostered through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, weekly school Mass, monthly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and other traditional Catholic devotions.

Virtue and vocation

As they mature, students learn through the Created for Greatness curriculum what a truly virtuous life is in order to recognize their own gifts that, through apostolic discernment, can be placed at the service of Christ and His Church. Ultimately, the education at St. Croix Catholic School aims to form young men and women who are free to say “yes” to God and respond to His grace at every moment of their lives.
