The Church has always been concerned with providing Catholic education for all. Because it was Our Lord Jesus Christ himself who instituted it on the day of his Ascension into Heaven and there he left us the mandate ‘Euntes ergo docente omnes gentes’ Mt 28:19 (go and teach). And so he sent the Apostles to all peoples. Catholic education is a great treasure, and it's important to know the meaning of this word that we hear so much: ‘Etymologically, the word education means more or less the same as the word creation. To educate, from the Latin educere, is almost to create, it is like taking from nothing, it is, at least, to awaken dormant faculties from sleep and lethargy, it is to give life, movement and action to a still imperfect existence’ (Catechism of Education p. 20). When we hear ‘Catholic education’ the question always comes up: is this Catholic education for everyone? Yes, it is for everyone. I quote an excerpt from the text Identity of the Catholic School for a culture of dialogue: ‘A characteristic of its ecclesial nature is that it is a school for all, particularly for those most in need’ (p. 22 of the instruction). Here at Colégio Católico Bento XVI we try to welcome everyone, but for Catholic education to be truly effective, the family, the school and the parish must work together. Knowing the importance of the family, more specifically the parents, we always carry out an interview, because ‘parents are primarily responsible for the education of their children’ (C.I.C. no. 2223). It's important that the family goes in the same direction as the school and the parish, because Catholic education must also continue in the child's daily life, especially at home. In the interview we dealt with various points, above all this parental communion, for example: the child must have an appropriate time of recollection, which is fundamental, so that the next day the child is in a good mood and receives the graces through Holy Mass, Holy Communion, and to nourish the intellect in the classroom. Looking at the notebook to see if there is any homework and helping the child to get into the habit of organising their school uniform (learning responsibility and zeal), taking care of school materials, however simple they may be, and in this way gradually leading the child towards the practice of virtues. Benedict XVI Catholic School is concerned with the care of each child's body and soul, and this mission is also the primary responsibility of all parents, as we can see in the book ‘The School Without God’ by Monsignor de Ségur: ‘Therefore, fathers and mothers, set your eyes on them early! Be careful, because God will ask you to give an account of your children's souls, faith and morals. Take care of your children in the interests of your own fortune in this world, which will result, almost infallibly, from the education they receive from their parents and educators.’ (P. 26) I'll end this article with an excerpt from the text Identity of the Catholic School for a culture of dialogue: ‘The characteristic element of the Catholic school, in addition to pursuing the cultural aims of the school and the human formation of young people, is to create an atmosphere of school community animated by the evangelical spirit of freedom and charity. For this reason, the aim of the Catholic school is to help adolescents so that, at the same time as developing their personality, they grow into the new creature that they are through baptism, as well as to finally order all human culture to the message of salvation, in such a way that the knowledge that pupils gradually acquire about the world, life and man is illuminated by faith’ (p. 03 of the instruction). All this is only possible when there is communion between family, school and parish, all going in the same direction. May Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, help us to guide every soul entrusted to us through her. Sedes Sapientiae, ora pro nobis!
