Franciscan Sponsorship Values
 
“Sponsorship of an apostolate or ministry is a formal relationship between a recognized Catholic organization (Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg) and a legally formed entity (Oldenburg Academy of the Immaculate Conception) entered into for the sake of promoting and sustaining the Church’s mission in the world.”  Frank Morrissey
 
OA is called to integrate these core values into the life of the school community:
 
PRAYER
DIGNITY OF EACH PERSON
RECONCILATION/CONVERSION
PEACE AND JUSTICE
CARE OF CREATION/RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP
 
Each year, we select one of these to focus on with our students and staff.
 
2018-19 will be the year of
DIGNITY OF EACH PERSON.

​An Atmosphere For Students To Explore Their Faith

Oldenburg Academy is a Roman Catholic institution, with Franciscan values that permeate all campus activities. Our Franciscan nature is due to our founderesses – the Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg. Oldenburg Academy offers an atmosphere for students to explore their faith response to God, recognizing that faith cannot be imposed.
