Virtues in Practice (VIP) Program

St. Ignatius Martyr utilizes the Dominican Sisters of Mary’s Virtues Program in our school. The Virtues program will serve as a road map in the teaching our children the importance of living a virtuous life by understanding the four Cardinal Virtues (Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance) as well as the Theological Virtues (Faith, Hope and Charity).

Through interaction of this program, we will collectively provide the content needed to educate youth in discipleship and virtues by providing in-depth knowledge of the theological and moral virtues, as well as the corresponding gifts of the Holy Spirit. As educators and parents, we have a common goal and are called to help our children clearly understand how everyone is called to be a disciple of Christ, and that through a personal encounter with Him, each of us is gifted with interior happiness and true freedom.

St. Ignatius Martyr is excited to integrate this program into our school and to share how it will shape our view on life, God’s plan and how interact with one another as a school community. This pogram will provide us the in-depth knowledge of how the virtues will indeed continue to educate the mind and form the hearts of children.
