BEHIND THE LOGO

The Logo mainly represents a symbol of care and awareness to our younger differently abled brothers and
sisters in society. In the Logo, there are two hands placed on top of each other; the the base is the bigger hand
while the hand on top is a smaller hand. This demonstrates our advocacy which is to lend a helping hand and to
give hope and encouragement to differently abled people for them to be happier in a society that excludes them.
With this, we also aim for a society that gives better awareness to them, to accept them as they are; human
beings with different capacities.

VISION AND MISSION

Vision Statement:

The vision of The Children of St. Andre Bessette is to raise better awareness for differently abled young
children. TCSAB strives to develop ways of promoting better awareness for the development of the differently
abled children through the inculcation of Christian Morality.

Mission Statement:

To attain our desired outcome, TCSAB must be vigilant and be consistent with their approach to the
issues sorrounding differently abled persons. Thus, they need to have a mature relationship with Christ as
Hebrews 5:14 says, “those who are spiritually mature will be able to "distinguish good from evil”. Also,
TCSAB must make use of their Christian Conscience for them to remain steadfast in their mission for a better
awareness for the differently abled persons in society.
Page 4 - SEE

The situational Analysis must answer the following Questions:

What do we see? See, hear and experience the lived reality of individuals and communities. Carefully examine the facts
of the situation. What are the people in this situation doing? How are they feeling? What are they saying? What do we
see is happening to them and how are they responding? What do we know about the issue? What did we observe?
(The situational Analysis can be presented in 1 -2 pages depending on how extensive was the observation. Please include
pictures for documentations. Please do it in paragraph form. NO BULLET POINTS)
Page 5-6 – DISCERN

TheReflection in Faith must answer the following Questions:

a. Social Analysis
From our experience, what is your understanding of the following:
 Why does this situation exist? What are the root causes?
 Economic factors - Who owns? Who controls? Who pays? Who profits? Why?
 Political factors - Who decides? For whom do they decide? How do decisions get made? Who is left out
of the decision-making process? Why?
 Social factors - Who is included? Who is marginalized? Why?
 Historic factors - What past events influence the situation today?
 Cultural factors - What values are evident? What do people believe in? Who or what influences what
people believe and how they live?
b. Theological Reflection
 What lessons or values from Scripture can help us to interpret this experience? eg. the Prophets, the
Beatitudes, the example of Jesus himself and the parables he told.
 What key principles from the Church’s social teaching apply to this situation. eg. Human dignity, human
rights and responsibilities, the common good, principle of subsidiarity, option for the poor, care for
creation.
 Analyse the experience you had during your CIP in the light of Scripture and the Church’s social teaching?
Do biblical values and the principles of the Church’s social teaching help us to see this reality in a different
way? Does this experience correspond with the vision and teachings of Scripture and the Church’s social
thinking? If not, in what ways does it not match? (Use encyclicals, Church teachings, the bible/scriptural
passages, and Church documents to support your observation by identifying how would the Church
understand the issue or problem to be addressed. Cite the specific article that you are to use. Ex. “Instead
of resolving the problems of the poor and thinking of how the world can be different, some can only
propose a reduction in the birth rate…To blame population growth instead of extreme and selective
consumerism on the part of some, is one way of refusing to face the issues.” - Laudato Si Paragraph 50)

 Do we have enough information and analysis to act? If not, what additional work is needed? If we were to act
to change this situation, what root causes would we tackle? How do we go about changing the structures

disadvantaged?
