THE SOUL OF TOUR-SAINTE

52′, proposed by Michèle Bourgeot.

Today, in Marseilles, 42% of children are educated in private Catholic schools. It is the second diocese in France with the most private Catholic schools after Brittany.
The Tour-Sainte complex is perched on the hills of Sainte-Marthe in the northern part of Marseille, from where there is a splendid view of the entire city. Tour-Sainte has chosen to welcome children of all faiths.
In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, when the political parties are so empty on the subject of religion, especially our inability to understand the need for the sacred, how does the Catholic school today attempt to fulfill its mission of educating the whole person, whether it be the social person, the intellectual person, the person of the heart, all in respect of the confessions of each?
