VISION
Palawan’s frontier of the Jesuit Education committed to Cultural and Ecological Conservation
MISSION
LCC is committed to form Christ-centered, Compassionate and Competent Students into Servant leaders for Cultural and Ecological Conservation
It was in June 10, 2010 meeting of the LCC administrators, faculty and staff that the school’s vision-mission was converted into a short one. Rev. Fr. Xavier C. Alpasa S.J., LCC President said that the old vision-mission was generic (does not show the unique identity of the school) and hard to remember or memorize because it’s too long. He asked the faculty and staff about the goal of the school. Different ideas came out but they are capsized into a one single goal and eventually to the formulation of the shorter vision-mission of the school.The vision-mission of Loyola College of Culion reflects on depth, universality and learned ministry which are the challenges to Jesuit education today.
The purpose of having the new vision-mission of LCC is as follows:
First, a short vision-mission allows not only the school community but also other people like tourists (local or foreign) to easily recall the vision-mission of LCC.
Second, it is the first time that the school has finally come to a focus and that is for cultural and ecological conservation. Thus, the vision-mission provides the distinction and identity of LCC from other schools. Being the only Jesuit school in Palawan, the vision-mission well-suits to what Palawan is really known.
Third, the frontier can be identified as a border between the past and the future. It looks at the past to improve the future. In front of it is a wide horizon to make LCC- the Better School through the core values of faith, service, excellence, integrity, justice and, cultural and ecological conservation.
