🔍 May’s Virtue: Circumspection 🔍
This month at Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools, we’re focusing on circumspection—the virtue of thinking before we act, considering the consequences of our choices, and seeking God’s guidance in every decision.
Circumspection helps us act wisely, make thoughtful choices, and live in a way that honors God and others. We’re encouraging our students to pause, reflect, and choose the path that leads to goodness and truth.
