The Salesian Way

I will be cheerful.

  1. We are made for happiness.
  2. Cheerfulness is a choice.
  3. Happiness is an act of the will.

I will do my duties well.

  1. Justice is the foundation of a flourishing society.
  2. Holiness comes through faithful duty.
  3. Pursue excellence, shun mediocrity.

I will stay close to Jesus in the Eucharist.

  1. Christ is our center.
  2. In Him we live and move and have our being.
  3. The Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith.

I will honor Mary as my mother and helper

  1. Behold your Mother!" - John 19:27
  2. Families nurture souls.
  3. The family is the model of school life.

I choose to be kind.

  1. True charity requires detachment.
  2. Charity is selfless love that determines our place in heaven.
  3. Train the will to embrace love of God and neighbor.

I want to serve rather than be served.

  1. Unselfishness is the heart of Christian living.
  2. Take initiative to support the common good and individual good of others.

"Do ordinary things in extraordinary ways."

Saint John Bosco, pray for us!

St. John Bosco profoundly influences the mission of Mount Royal Academy

Principles of ST. John Bosco

  1. “Without confidence and love, there can be no true education. If you want to be loved…you must love yourselves, and make your children feel that you love them.”
  2. “The school was not the end; it was rather the instrumental means for improving the way of life.”
  3. “If one is to do good, he must have a little courage, be ready for sacrifice, deal affably with all and never slight anybody. By following this method I have always had significant success, in fact, marvelous success.”
  4. “Act today in such a way that you need not blush tomorrow.”
  5. “Do not put off till tomorrow the good you can do today. You may not have a tomorrow.”
  6. “Let us strive to fare well in this life and in the next.”
  7. “Be slow to pass judgment.”
  8. “Do you want your companions to respect you? Always think well of everyone, and be ready to help others. Do this and you will be happy.”
  9. “Run, jump, have all the fun you want at the right time, but, for heaven’s sake, do not commit sin!” (from St. Philip Neri).
  10. “Servite Domino in laetitia!” (Serve the Lord joyfully!)
