Vision
Happiness is not found in things, possessions, even in successes, but rather in developing right relationships with family, friends and those with whom we work and associate. In the Beatitudes, Jesus sums up the basic principles of life in the kingdom of God. They also tell us how to respond to problems of poverty, injustice, and oppression. As we move into the new millennium, the following interpretation of the Beatitudes is offered as a guide to the students who graduate from Danbury Catholic.
Students at Danbury Catholic know they need God in their lives. Students grow closer to God through various forms of
- prayer. They come to know that God is
more important than anything else in life. Students will have skills, habits, and traits
- f character for leading healthy lives as
contributing members of the community. Students at Danbury Catholic are aware of people who are suffering in the school, community, church and world. As responsible Christians and responsible citizens, students will show respect toward self and others and for global and cultural diversity by reaching out to anyone who needs to be comforted. Students at Danbury Catholic care about
- thers as children of God. They are all
loved by God and in turn love one another. They recognize that all their gifts and talents come from God. These gifts are shared with kindness and patience to serve God and others by being productive workers, showing initiative, and responsibility and producing quality work in a timely manner.

Students at Danbury Catholic respect
- thers by treating each other fairly. God
treats everyone with justice and equality. Students will use information, resources, and reasoning to become problem solvers and make decisions in a changing world, treating others in the same way and sharing their possessions with those in need. Students at Danbury Catholic care about
- thers who are hurting. They learn that
through the sacraments, Jesus is present in them and is ready to forgive them when they turn away from sin. They use their leadership and social skills to accept
- thers and have compassion for them.
Students at Danbury Catholic keep God first in their lives. They learn that when temptations to sin occur in their daily lives, they will be able to resist because of their love for God and neighbors. By showing responsibility for their own actions and setting and evaluating their goals, students practice important life skills.

Students at Danbury Catholic are working for peace in any situation. They try to look for opportunities to bring God’s peace in the midst of conflict. In order to be resourceful thinkers, they will use their ability to apply content knowledge, learn constructive ways to resolve conflict and settle arguments and disputes. Students at Danbury Catholic are responsible for defending others who are
- mistreated. They have learned how to
include everyone in what they are doing. They stand up for their beliefs even if they are made fun of or criticized. In turn they build the Kingdom of God.
Just as Christ used the beatitudes to set the standards for discernment in the use of earthly goods in keeping with the law of God, we have used the beatitudes as our basis to set the student learning goals and standards for graduates of Danbury Catholic.
