Evangelizar com alegria.
Formar com fé.
Servir com amor.
At Heavenly International School, pastoral care is more than just a department; it's the soul of the school.
It is through pastoral care that we make faith visible and alive in every detail of daily life, nourishing hearts with the Gospel and illuminating the formation of students, families, and staff with the love of Christ.
Educating is also evangelizing.
That's why, in our school, spiritual formation goes hand in hand with academic and human excellence. Every space, from the classroom to the chapel, from recess to social projects, is an invitation to encounter God and to live the faith as a way of life.
In communion with the Church
We are united with the Archdiocese of Brasília and joyfully embrace the richness of the Church's movements, charisms, and expressions that are part of Catholic life. This spiritual plurality strengthens our mission to help each student and family find their path in faith, with freedom, authenticity, and a sense of commitment.
Our pastoral work is open, missionary, and vibrant—just as Pope Francis envisioned. We are a school that goes out to others, a community that listens, welcomes, and transforms.
Presence that accompanies
Pastoral action is present:
- In Eucharistic celebrations and liturgical seasons lived with depth;
- In spiritual formations and encounters for parents, students, and collaborators;
- In conversations with tutors, in moments of listening and spiritual direction;
- In classrooms, through pedagogical proposals that integrate faith and knowledge, promoting the experience of Christian values.
Evangelization also happens in the silence of attentive listening, in the patience of correction with love, and in the consistency of those who live what they believe.
The leading role of the laity
As Saint John Paul II stated:
"The future of evangelization depends, to a large extent, on the domestic Church and the commitment of the laity."
And Pope Francis agrees:
“The laity are the immense people of God. Their mission is clear: to take the Church where only they can reach.”
At Heavenly, we recognize and value the fundamental role of lay evangelizers—parents, teachers, tutors, and collaborators—who, with their gifts and testimonies, make the Gospel visible inside and outside of school.
Pastoral Initiatives that prepares for eternity
Our pastoral work is expressed in a concrete journey of faith, joy, and commitment, with initiatives such as:
- Celebration of the Sacraments (Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Masses, and Matrimony);
- Catholic Faith Formation Program, with doctrinal and spiritual deepening;
- Evangelization Clubs and weekly prayer sessions;
- Individualized spiritual accompaniment with tutors and pastoral agents;
- Social and apostolic projects that translate faith into service to others;
- Couples' retreats and training focused on family spirituality.
At Heavenly, we train with our eyes on Heaven and our feet firmly on the ground. And it is through the strength of pastoral care that our school becomes, each day, a place of encounter, mission, and holiness
