Catholic Life - Our Philosophy

Mater Dolorosa Catholic School works to promote a learning environment rich in spiritual awareness and academic excellence to educate the whole child.  We strive to instill in each student the importance of the power of prayer and love for one another. 

We foster wholesome friendships, practice discipline, and reach out to those in need by extending kindness and respect.  We promise to provide each student with a challenging education with appreciation and respect for God and all His blessings.

Mater Dolorosa Catholic School educates students to be responsible, self-reliant individuals with strong academics incorporating Catholic moral foundations and values so they can live a successful life in the eyes of God showing their love for Him and all others. 

As stated by the National Congress on Catholic Schools for the 21st Century, “We will strive to educate students to meet the intellectual, social, and ethical challenges of living in a technological and global society”.
