BRIC Parents

It's good to be a BRIC parent!

IN THIS SECTION

Welcome to the BRIC Parent Community

The BRIC Parent group is based on the same principles as our BRIC Brothers, BRIC Sisters and BRIC Educator groups. At Saint Francis, our four core Holy Cross educational principles guiding our school community are to: 

  • Bring Hope
  • Respect Others
  • Inspire Integrity
  • Celebrate Family
 

Who are BRIC Parents?

All of you! BRIC parents are any parents at Saint Francis who would like to engage more with our BRIC values through CSC:

  • Community Service
  • Spirituality
  • Collegiality

These opportunities are open to all Lancer parents, at whatever interest and/or availability level you're at.

Bring Hope

by changing the world through Christ’s love.

Respect Others

by seeing the face of Christ in everyone.

Inspire Integrity

of the heart and mind by being true to the Gospel in word and action.

Celebrate Family

by building a loving Holy Cross community.
