A virtue is an habitual disposition to do the good. It allows the person
not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of him or herself.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church
Each month from September to May, there is a school-wide focus on a specific virtue we would like to see in our students and all members of the St. Luke School community. The virtues are based on the Fruits of the Holy Spirit which characterize all who follow Christ by imitating His life and virtues. The students are encouraged to practice the virtue and recognize it and God's presence in others. By recognizing that month's virtue when it is observed, our goal is to strengthen that virtue throughout the school community. The students hear about each month's virtue during our daily morning prayer, in their religion classes and throughout the day. The students who consistently demonstrate this quality will be acknowledged by their homeroom teacher and earn special recognition at the end of the month during Mass.
