The most important influence in a child’s formal education, apart from the curriculum, is his teachers. At the beginning of every academic year, all faculty members, as well as the members of the Board of Trustees, Principal, and administration at Regina Pacis Academy make a public profession of faith and take an oath of fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. This public witness to their ecclesial communion accomplishes several things. It aids the teacher by safeguarding his or her intellectual integrity. It fosters a sense of unity of purpose within the faculty and administration, and it gives assurance to parents who desire that their children pursue their studies in an authentically Catholic setting. The willingness on the part of our faculty to take this oath of fidelity also serves as an inspiration to our students, as well as to the broader Catholic community.
