At this stage of ESO, great changes take place in the personality of the students. So they are trying to guide them towards a human and Christian maturity.
They are accompanied to seek their human fullness and experience how it is enhanced from the dynamics of the gospel.
It is intended that they know themselves, their companions and Christ.
It seeks to help them grow in faith, to move from a childish faith to a more adult and deeper, more personal faith.
Although it is not the only objective, it helps them to travel a path so that they can later receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
A very valid instrument for the Pastoral Care of the School are the Lines of Force, which from the Ignatian spirituality, accompany the human and spiritual journey of the students during the year.
