MISSION

As Catholic Parochial School, we are untiringly committed to be role models in:

1. Nurturing a growing community of Truthful, Just, and Loving persons;
2. Sustaining a climate of holistic excellence in the service of God;
3. Protecting the environment and all of God's creation at all times.

IDENTITY

A Community of truthful, just, and loving persons inspired by St. Raphael the Archangel to live a Christ–centered life at the service of others of the country and of humanity.

CORE VALUES

Truth is a value that leads to excellence. The hunger for truth brings one to excel. A person who has really searched for the truth has nothing to aim but to serve his/her fellow human beings. The continuous pursuit of the truth develops a sense of gratefulness to, and brings one to a realization of, the magnificence of the Source of all truths, God.

Justice is the virtue that consists of a constant and firm will to give God and neighbor their due. Where fortitude and temperance guide and perfect one's action in relation to oneself, justice guides and perfects one's actions in relation to others. It is giving what is due to a person, whether material things, respect, love, and the like that may help him/her be a better person, thus being a factor of social transformation.

Love is a core value that moves one to serve others, especially the poor. It compels one to work in mission in the example of Jesus Christ – servant leadership, perform work for a higher cause through self-discipline, and fulfill His command to “Go and make disciples of all nations.” The essence of loving is giving it away especially to those who are in need. Love creates a deep link between oneself, others and God.
