Parish School - St. Francis of Assisi Elementary
-
Catholic parents make a solemn promise to God at their child's baptism to raise them in the faith. To help them do this, parishes often set up schools to support parents and pastors.
A Catholic parish school is based on the Church’s mission to spread knowledge and faith in God and His Son; Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It’s an educational philosophy that brings faith, culture, love, peace, and life together. Through school, the local parish spreads the Gospel, educates its members, and helps them live healthy and morally sound lives.
St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School in Sacramento was built and supported by the people of St. Francis of Assisi Parish. It's there to give the children of the parish an education based on the mission of St. Francis and the Catholic faith.Research shows that when parishes support their own Catholic schools, it has a positive impact on the Catholic community and faith formation. It also improves educational outcomes, increases parental involvement, helps the Catholic community financially, promotes Vocations and church participation, and has a long-term effect on the faith community.
