动画的信念 & 核心价值观
借鉴天主教和依纳爵的传统, 罗氏天主教教育中心的工作以下列信念为动力:
我们相信教育是关于心灵、思想和灵魂的形成. 在依纳爵的灵性中，对整体形成的关注被称为 看台personalis，或“关心整个人”." Recognizing that individuals are more than their minds, our programs are designed around 电子游戏软件的三角队形, 我们关注精神世界, 公共, 智力层面的形成, 特别关注天主教教育工作者的独特天赋和职业.
我们为魔法师而奋斗. 魔法师 翻译过来就是“更多”,，表明我们所做的一切都力求卓越, 并认识到我们所做的一切都是为了上帝更大的荣耀.
我们是旅途上的伙伴. 我们在人生的旅途上陪伴别人, 分享我们的天赋，尊重他人的才能, 同时追求公平正义. 就像我们对别人来说是女人和男人一样, 我们在这样做时特别注意穷人和被边缘化的人的需要.
我们在一切事物中看到上帝. 依纳爵精神的一个信条是理解上帝存在于万物之中, from the incredible once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to the seemingly mundane everyday routines. We view our ministry as a practice in attentiveness to the movement and direction of the Spirit.
我们致力于建立一个社会公正和平等的世界. 我们培养并教育具有批判性思维的变革推动者, 关于道德和伦理问题的对话, 并为天主教教育的卓越和公平作出贡献.
We develop Catholic educators to be adaptable, attentive, visionary, humble and joyful.
Being formed in the Ignatian tradition of adaptability means that we are willing to let God mold and change us. 通过对他人的好奇心和真诚的兴趣, 我们对新的观察方式持开放态度, 理解和行动. Adaptability requires us to be present to God’s activity in the now so that we can respond in ways that are creative and congruent to the situation, 同时也要富有同情心和建设性. 当我们明白神的作为渗透在当下的时候, we are able to surrender the stubbornness that often denies ourselves and others the opportunity to explore, 改变和成长.
Being formed in the Ignatian tradition of attentiveness means that we are vigilant to the movements of our hearts. 在反射, 我们会意识到上帝爱我们的独特方式, 包括上帝如何通过我们的生活和特殊情况与我们沟通. It means we are also attuned to the ways in which God is loving others and working in and through their lives and the activity of the world. 专注是一种内心的习惯，它帮助我们在所有事情中看到上帝, 当我们行走在这个世界时，这能帮助我们发现上帝的指纹.
Being formed in the Ignatian tradition of vision means that we desire to see as God sees. 意识到我们自己的观点比上帝的更狭隘，更有局限性, 我们祈求恩典的矫正镜来看清我们自己, 他人和世界以新的和丰富的方式. 虽然这个过程会让人感到头晕目眩, we trust that God’s perfect vision — which we desire to become our own vision — will allow us to see much more clearly, 广泛和包容.
Being formed in the Ignatian tradition of humility means that we acknowledge the beautiful mosaic and totality of who we are before God. 这包括我们的才能和倾向，也包括我们的局限和不足, 以及我们如何爱和生活在这个世界上. Humility does not demand that we ‘shrink’ to become less than we are; rather it challenges us to recognize that all we are and all we have, 以及我们将成为什么样的人都完全依赖于上帝. 是所有其他美德的基础, humility invites us to admit that we cannot go it alone and that we need God and others — not only to live, 但是要想茁壮成长. Authentic humility is always freeing because it leaves room and responsibility for God.
Being formed in the Ignatian tradition of joy means that we pay attention to interior emotions and feelings because where we experience joy and peace are good indicators of God’s desires for us. While happiness is fleeting and can fluctuate with events or interactions, joy is stable. 在幸福来了又走之后，它依然徘徊不去, 它敦促我们在困难时期坚持到底. 快乐是一种微妙的常量，它提醒我们恐惧, 暴力, 毁灭和死亡没有最终决定权.
