Today, 174 Sisters in the Philippine province are serving in 35 schools, four of which are located abroad. These educational institutions are categorized as Congregation-owned, Congregation-owned schools in church-owned lands, Congregation-owned schools located in partly-owned lands and administered schools.
We envision the SPC Education Ministry as:
A Christ-centered institution committed to forming persons into becoming integrated and compassionate individuals in the service of the Church and society.
We commit ourselves to:
1. CHRIST-CENTEREDNESS
The Christo-centricity of Paul makes him cling to the Cross as a way to Glory. This is Paschal Spirituality. "I wish to know Christ and the power flowing from His resurrection; likewise, to know how to share in His sufferings by being formed into the pattern of His death." (Phil 3:10)
2. CHARITY
Christ's love is the motivating force, the power that drives the Paulinian, as embodied in the Paulinian motto: CARITAS CHRISTI URGET NOS! Love is the highest gift that Paul exhorts us to seek (1 Cor 13); the law of the community which bears the name of Christ, the summary of all the commandments (Rom 13:8; Phil 2:1-5)
3. COMMISSION
The charity of Christ commissions us to proclaim Him as the Good News to all. The Paulinian is an ambassador of Christ (2 Cor 5:20), servant and steward of the mysteries of God (1 Cor 4:1; 2 Cor 4:5)
4. COMMUNITY
The Paulinian contributes to the building of the body of Christ which is the Church, the community of all who had been justified in Christ. All of us, in union with Christ, form one body, and as part of it, we belong to each other (Rom 12:6).
5. CHARISM
The Paulinian recognizes and respects the gifts of people, realizing that each gift is for a different purpose but all for the building of communities of faith, hope and love (1 Cor 12:13 ).
