We profess a belief in Jesus Christ, the Savior. We believe that the Church, as the Body of Christ on earth,
has a mission to witness to the Christian message, in particular to its youth. The Catholic school is unique
in that it has accepted this responsibility by providing academic excellence and an environment which
acknowledges Christ as the core of human existence. Catholic education at Our Lady of Fatima School is concerned with the total development of each student, spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. This developmentis enhanced by love, primarily nurtured in the home and sustained in the school. Seeking the guidance of Mary, our Mother,and the dynamic influence of the Holy Spirit, we accept the challenge of developing the total child, one who integrateshis faith with his life; one whose strong self-concept enables him to proclaim the Good News as he shares his giftsresponsibly in love and service to the community..

Spiritual Logo

Our Lady of Fatima School has adopted a logo, which reflects our belief about education as a life process. The arrows represent the freedom of choice that each of us has in determining the avenuse in education that our children will travel. The arrows converge, forming a cross, which reflects our philosophy that the best education is one that combines academics with a good self-esteem, based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

We are unified in our beliefs and our spirit is alive and well.
