DIRECTOR MESSAGE
Anthony Schratz
Dream and your dreams will fall short. This phrase, so often repeated by Saint Josemarķa, could well serve as the motto of Ernescliff.
At Ernescliff, our dream is to contribute to the moral, spiritual, cultural, and intellectual renewal of Canadian society by preparing the next generation of leaders to be people of integrity, virtue and great moral probity.
The greatest obstacle to this renewal is ignorance or misunderstanding of the true nature of man, of his happiness and of his ultimate purpose of life. This is why at Ernescliff we transmit to students a profound understanding of the human person made in the image of God, called to a transcendent destiny and hence possessing an inherent dignity and a rich potential. Only by recognizing this truth can it be understood that happiness is not to be found in radical individualism, but in a life of love, service, commitment, and faith.
If the future leaders of our society succeed in integrating this way of life and this understanding of the human person into their own lives, they will be able to find permanent and profound solutions to the problems facing Canadian society - solutions that will strike at the spiritual poverty found at the very root of these problems.
This renewal is our dream and through Ernescliff and with the help of St. Josemaria, the Founder of Opus Dei, we are confident that we will not fall short.
