"The Church has always believed that education is about more than acquiring knowledge. It is about forming the whole person. This is because Catholics have always understood that the mind and the soul were never meant to be separated. The goal was to prepare students for a life of truth, wisdom, and ultimately, holiness."

🏡 It was a beautiful day in the (Parkside) Neighborhood for two of our students earlier this summer! Thank you to the Mills & Valentine families for bidding on this experience in our 2026 Magnificat Silent Auction. The boys spent the day with Mrs. Robbins in her neighborhood. They marveled at the animals in the Buffalo Zoo, & the architecture of the Frank Lloyd Wright Darwin Martin House, plus took a walk in Delaware Park. They even stopped at Alice Ever After Bookstore, & Meg, the owner, let them pick a book! They ended the day with a meal at Parkside Meadow.
