Back To School - One Minute With Bishop Burbidge

Walk Humbly

As a new school year approaches, students of all ages prepare to return to classrooms, sports fields, activities, and the rhythm of daily assignments. This is a season filled with promise and the responsibility to grow, learn, and mature. Yet education is about more than academics. It's true purpose is to form the whole person—mind, heart, and soul. Parents: you are the first and most important teachers of your children. What you teach at home—especially by your example—will shape the foundation for everything in your child's life to come. To all students: seek not only knowledge, but wisdom. Keep yourselves open to God and make time for studies as well as prayer. May we all grow together in the goodness and wisdom that makes for a happy life.
