Mary, Seat of Wisdom, Teach Us Love
Our theme for the 2022-2023 school year is Mary, Seat of Wisdom, Teach Us Love. The theme comes from an ancient title given to Mary, Sedes Sapientiae. This title was bestowed upon Mary because she held Jesus, the Divine Wisdom, on her lap. Our Blessed Mother is constantly acknowledged as a model of Wisdom and Love. Mary has much to teach us.  As children of God, and Catholic educators, we need to open our hearts and be willing to sit at the feet of Mary to receive the gift of spiritual Wisdom and learn from Mary how to love.
