We could summarise this with the phrase: “Every Child, Every Opportunity, Every Day.”
We aim to provide the foundation on which children can grow, enabling them to move on to the next stage of their lives, confident that, in the words of St. Paul: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13
