Pope Saint John Paul, 1984, Address To Catholic Educators.
‘The Church looks upon you as co-workers, with an important measure of shared responsibility……you are called to bring professional competence and a high standard of excellence to your teaching….But your responsibilities make demands upon you which go far beyond the need for professional skills and competence…..Through you, as through a clear window on a sunny day, students must come to see and know the richness and the joy of a life lived in accordance with his teaching, in response to his challenging demands. To teach means not only to impart what we know, but also to reveal who we are by living what we believe. It is this latter lesson which tends to last the longest’. Pope Saint John Paul, 1984, Address To Catholic Educators.
