The Council shall formulate and propose policies in accordance with those of the Ordinance of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, designed to:

B. Promote in the students a zeal for the achievement of justice and for the practice of peacemaking through their individual actions and their actions with others.

C. Create in the schools an active faith community permeated with the Gospels message of freedom and love, where the teachers and staff in partnership with families light the way for the students to receive a quality education without regard to gender, economic, ethnic, or racial background.
