PCS MOTTO
“Noblesse Oblige” – Nobility Obligates!
Man is created in the image of God that s/he may exist in a loving relationship with Him and with each other (Gaudium et Spes 12). S/he therefore, is gifted with self-knowledge and freedom to know and love God above all things, and is in a living and loving relationship with his/her fellowmen.

Through knowledge and intellect, s/he discovers the truth and actually shares “in the light of the divine mind” (Gaudium et Spes 15). Through freedom, s/he has the capacity to know what is true and good. Thus, having been born as a beloved child of God in the waters of Baptism, there can be no greater nobility; there is no higher dignity, than that of being an image of God in Christ.

From this, s/he adheres to and lives up the PCS Motto: “Noblesse Oblige”, which means “your nobility and dignity is great, so is your responsibility”.

Every Paconian has a noble calling as a child of God and a brother/sister of Christ. Because of this unique privilege s/he belongs to the nobility of God’s kinship. As such, s/he has an obligation to be a living witness of this calling and must live his/her life accordingly.

Being part of Paco Catholic School is an expression of his/her high regard for this noble institution for excellence and for the spirit and standards not only in academic pursuits but above all in religious formation for Catholic living.
