Virtue=Strength is a Catholic program that helps schools and sports teams strengthen their Catholic Identity through intentional virtue lessons and ceremony events.
Lea Aust leads a lesson from the Virtue = Strength program on Patience and Impatience.
We were blessed to visit one of our partner schools recently in California, St. Joseph Academy in San Marcos.
It was a wonderful reminder of how many amazingly dedicated administrators, teachers, coaches, staff, students and parents we have in our partner schools.
EWTN was on campus to film a segment for their program Living Divine Mercy which will air within the next few months. They heard about Virtue=Strength and wanted to showcase the program in action.
It was a full day. Early morning football practice with the sunrise, Virtue award assembly and virtue talk, Adoration, Mass, Pep Rally, Classes, Powder Puff game, lots of interviews and a football game to top it all off at a beautiful stadium 2 blocks from the beach.
This short image/video below shows the heart of SJA and V=S … prayer and union with our Lord Jesus Christ. Athletic Director and Assistant Football Coach John Murray made a visit to our Lord in the Chapel as soon as we arrived for sunrise football practice. The man walking outside is the head football coach, Tom Davis. He had already visited our Lord and was ready to go!
The Crusaders continue to sing the Ave Maria in Latin after every game. The video of them singing last year was a true inspiration to millions of people all over the world.
Each classroom is dedicated to a Saint.
Headmaster Tony Biese led a beautiful virtue award ceremony.
