Pillars of St Michael's new charism unveiled

St Michael's College, Carrara, unveiled the six pillars of its newly-developed charism around the Archangel Michael at the annual foundation day Mass on June 3.

Principal Michael Laidler said the 25-year-old school was the first Brisbane Catholic Education archdiocesan secondary school built and while the college had a wonderful spirituality it did not have a dedicated charism.

He said the six "pillars" of St Michael unveiled during the Foundation Day had taken almost 12 months to develop.

"We had a staff development day on charisms in July last year and then we went to the kids and asked them about who and what they thought St Michael was," he said.

"They came up with things like he was a protector of the Church so we then asked them to think of the way his protection could be applied to modern day."

Mr Laidler said eventually students came up with 32 words about St Michael that were narrowed down to six pillars of St Michael that form the new charism.

"We formed a charism committee that was made up of the school captains and interested staff to determine how we would then develop those six pillars and what they would stand for," he said.

He said the pillars Protection, Respect, Dedication, Justice, Courage and Integrity would guide the school and students into the future.

Mr Laidler said six pillars were chosen so students could concentrate on one pillar each year during their secondary education.

"If we get (Year 7) we wanted a pillar for each year so when the kids have been through the school they will have looked at each of those pillars," he said.

He said of prime importance during the development of the charism was the need to make it user-friendly for students.

"We made sure we put them into really contemporary words for the kids - what is it for us - so for example when you look at 'protect' we include a catch phrase as to what it (the pillar) really means to us and then we say therefore we aim to do this," he said.

"So if we take 'protection' we provide a safe environment for all, therefore we aim to build healthy relationships, include everyone, care for one another and our environment, support the weak and we actually also put the strong in there for the kids who stand up for other kids, the marginalised and those in need."

Mr Laidler said the college would concentrate on such values next year when it introduced the first pillar of the charism.

GOD Bless You and Yours ----- Comments/Suggestions/News email to johnmachaffie@gmail.com Yes, avoiding human "fear triggers" is an important consideration. Humans who will react with fear and avoidance when a demon draws near will resist and refuse them. This human state very quickly becomes a human free-will CHOICE to tell the demon to go away. The Holy Spirit and angels of God will then move in, acting on behalf of the human being, and the demon's goal has been defeated. However...If a demon can massage away the human fear triggers, hiding it's true identity and agenda, appearing lovely, promising, and benevolent, the human can be brought to a place where they will welcome the demon's presence and activity. This requires the human's free-will co-operation in the process. Hence, the elaborations of occult rituals and new age concepts and practices.
