Welcome
We are a Catholic community of faith dedicated to educating students in grades K-8 according to the curriculum prescribed by the Department of Catholic Schools of Los Angeles and provided by the State of California.
We believe in providing daily experiences for students to grow in a personal relationship with Jesus, as they learn and practice their Catholic faith and to create a Christian atmosphere wherein teachers and students relate to one another with respect.

THEME FOR THE 2008-2009 SCHOOL YEAR
Celebrating a Year Sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ...
As Pope John Paul II said, "Evangelizing all peoples constitutes the essential mission of the church. It is the grace and vocation proper to the church...our deepest identity. We must commit to a new 'new evanglization' - new in methods, new in expression, and new in ardor".
SPBS had dedicated our 2008-2009 school year to focusing on our school community's commitment to a "new evangelization".
Our three goals for evanglization at SPBS this year are:
-
To bring about in the Catholics in our SPBS community such an enthusiasm for our faith, that as we live our faith in Jesus, we then will freely share it with others.
-
To reach out and invite to the Catholic Church those who have no faith community, and those who may no longer practice their Catholic faith. We welcome those who seek full communion with the Catholic Church.
-
To foster Gospel values not just in our school and parish communities, but in society as a whole. We propose to do this by promoting the dignity of the human person, the importance of the family, and expecially by carrying with us the Good News of Jesus Christ through our own works of justice; charity; and peace.
