OLPS aligns its objectives to the education of the Church, to prepare its members to proclaim the Good News and to translate this proclamation into action. The educational mission of the Church is an integrated ministry, embracing three interlocking dimensions: first, the proclamation of the word of God; second, fellowship on the life of the Holy Spirit; and third, service o the Christian community and the rest of the human community. (Documentary on Education, Mla. Synod, 1979) Education involves the integration of the individual’s thinking, values, emotions, outlook, habits and experiences so that these become apparent in the individual’s behavior and lifestyle. The information of the human person is first and fundamentally an orientation to his ultimate destiny and simultaneously to the good of the society of which he/she is a responsible member.
