About Us
“I have the firm confidence that God will bless our educational program since God is giving us the means to realize it.”

Blessed Basil Moreau,
Circular Letter 36; 1849
Life at SF
"We shall always place education side by side with instruction; the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart. While we prepare useful citizens for society, we shall likewise do our utmost to prepare citizens for heaven."

Blessed Basil Moreau,
Circular Letter 36; 1849
Admissions
"Let us be 'one,' just as our Lord Jesus Christ asked this unity for us of His Father. It is only on this condition that God will give us His own strength; this strength which flows from charity, mutual harmony, oneness of wills, and the mild bonds of the heart."

Blessed Basil Moreau
Circular Letter 153; 1863
Mission & Ministry
“How we educate the mind will change with the times; how we cultivate the heart is and will remain timeless.”

Blessed Basil Moreau,
Christian Education
Academics
"Even though we base our philosophy course on the data of faith, no one need fear that we shall confine our teaching within narrow and unscientific boundries. No, we wish to accept science without prejudice and in a manner adapted to the needs of our times. We do not want our students to be ignorant of anything they should know. To this end, we shall shrink from no sacrifice."

Blessed Basil Moreau,
Circular Letter 36; 1849
Giving
"What is true of the palace whose foundations have been laid and which is rising gradually until completion is verified, likewise, is a great work of charity.It is not one alone who builds; nor is it one stone, or one single beam of wood, that forms it. Each worker contributes something from his own trade...Union, then, is a powerful level with which we could move, direct, and sanctify the world."

Blessed Basil Moreau,
Circular Letter 14; 1841
