The
Children, the Temples of The Holy Spirit
"Build
the House Of the Lord your God,
as
He Said to you.”
(I
Chr 22:11)
Children
are temples of the Holy Spirit and in building the characters of
children; we are building members of the body of Christ.
As
temples of the Holy Spirit, they must be instructed to respect their
bodies and minds, and in turn, as brothers and sisters in Christ,
respect others.
The
aim of the College is to assist children to lead "a life worthy of
the calling to which they were called". Discipline, instruction by
others, is an integral part of this process. Self-discipline, the
cornerstone of Christian life, is our ultimate goal.
To
this aim, we pray to assist children to achieve full perfection in
Christ Jesus.
