Education through Schools

One way to carry out our service of education is in an institution for the formation of youth through teaching.

This service of education in institutions includes instruction, but emphasizes the formation of the whole person, formation for social and collective life, accompaniment of the faith, with a definite goal:  education for justice in faith.

Today we have varied apostolic commitments within institutions which themselves differ from one another according to the age of the young with whom we work, the type of instruction given, or the composition of the student body.

The best thing of each journey is getting to know what we don’t know, finding out what we haven’t yet experienced and learning from everything we see and hear. This is exactly what I experienced in November, when the Network invited me to the Latin American and the Caribbean forum that took place in Lima, Peru.
