Campion Hall and the Role of the Parish

Campion Hall belongs to Presentation of the Lord Catholic Church as an intrinsic part of evangelizing activity. This means that Campion Hall carries out its mission on the grounds of Presentation, within the overall parish life of Presentation, and serves the families within the context of Presentation. As such, it means to be of service to families in their pursuit of the life of virtue and sanctity, of service to the Presentation community by building up and enriching the cultural inheritance, and of service to the Lord who calls his people to make disciples of all nations.

Campion Hall, then, has a two-fold purpose:

1. to communicate a certain body of knowledge
2. to cultivate a certain kind of person, to develop as far as possible what is uniquely human in him, and to equip him with the skills, habits, and aptitudes necessary to embrace truth and to become the person he was created to be.

It seeks to honor and acknowledge the primary role parents play in educating their children while inviting families to educate their children in and with the mind of the Church through their participation in parish life. No family is completely sufficient unto itself. It is not possible, therefore, to have a truly Catholic education in isolation. By offering supplemental education in the context of the totality of the parish’s life the students and families will grasp more deeply the reality that education is faith seeking understanding.
