Our School
About Us
Francis Libermann Catholic High School has developed a rich history in its relatively young life. Founded in 1977 by the Spiritans – The Congregation of the Holy Spirit with Father John Geary CSSp. as the first principal. Staffed by a small group of dedicated professionals, the school at once established itself as a model of academic excellence and faith experience.
The school is named after Venerable Francis Mary Paul Libermann who was a Jewish convert to Christianity, ordained a catholic priest in 1841, and became one of the co-founders of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit. The school's motto, “Inter Mutanda Constantia” - “Steadfastness in the midst of change" - has indeed proven to be the guiding principle of Francis Libermann Catholic High School. We have maintained a traditional, non-semestered, and coeducational school, which holds in high regard both academic excellence and Gospel values.
The emphasis on community and faith experience has led to the foundation of some highly regarded traditions, from our retreat program to a wide variety of support to charities. Students are encouraged and given the opportunity to live out Gospel values within their community as well. Ours is a rich, diverse, and multi-ethnic population whose members see daily the true value of those blessings. That strong community spirit has remained intact at Francis Libermann through a dedicated staff and vibrant student body.
Father Francis Libermann’s Prayer/School Prayer
O Divine Spirit, I wish to be like a feather before you, so that your breath may carry me, wherever it pleases, and I may never offer it any resistance. Amen!
Francis Libermann – Pray for us!
