About
Adoro Te

Picture
Origin of the Adoro Te symbol Thanks to Kristen Gawley for the original artwork.
Ancient legend held that the mother pelican would feed her dying young with her blood to revive them from death. In turn, she lost her own life.  Early Christians used this image to symbolize our Lord, Jesus Christ. The pelican symbolizes Jesus who gave His life for our redemption. We were dead to sin, and have found new life through the Blood of Christ. Red symbolizes His blood and gold, His royalty. This has been chosen as our symbol because it honors both the sacrificial love of Christ and that of a parent. Reference to the Pelican can be found in the hymn Adoro Te Devote...
​
Lord Jesus, Good Pelican / Wash me clean with your blood, / One drop of which can free / The entire world of all its sins.


Adoro Te Families

All families who have chosen to educate their children at home are eligible to apply to Adoro Te. Families that do not homeschool but are considering this option are welcome to attend Adoro Te events as Guests. If you are would like more information about the group, please use the "Contact Us" link found in the menu at the top of this page. If you are interested in participating, please use the "Contact Us" link above.

Volunteering and Participating

Adoro Te is not a pay-for-service organization or a co-op.

We are families joining together to provide opportunities and support to each other in our homeschooling efforts.
Every parent should consider how they may contribute to this effort.
We ask that each family consider the talents and time they can contribute to Adoro Te to make our activities possible.


Adoro Te Families are invited to attend as many or few events as they are able.
Select activities require a registration and commitment for the month or year (see the link for each activity for details).

Purpose

Adoro Te is a number of families who have chosen to homeschool and work together to offer spiritual, social, and educational support to each other.

We are loyal to the Magisterium through Pope Francis. Inspired by the example of Mary’s humility, Adoro Te families strive to demonstrate the virtues of charity, hospitality, and modesty in action, word, and dress.


Policies

Adoro Te has Guidelines which are reviewed annually and must be accepted by Adoro Te families prior to participation in activities.

The physical, moral, and mental safety of our children, families, and guests is paramount.

Only Adoro Te families can access Administrative and Participation Information at this link all others must submit a Contact Form through the Contact link at the top of this page.

People 

We define homeschooling families as families with one or more K-12 aged children who are currently homeschooled, or Adoro Te families who have at least one child who has graduated high school with Adoro Te.  A family may also participate in Adoro Te if they are seriously considering homeschooling children the following school year.

Adoro Te is not an academic institution. Through the cooperation of families, and coordination of resources, we strive to offer Christ-centered extracurricular activities  for our homeschooled children.

Recognizing that some families are discerning homeschooling, we welcome their attendance at appropriate Adoro Te activities as Guests.
