Our Mission

Catholic education is a process through which the community of the school, the home and the Church develops within its students a way of living which embodies the life of Jesus Christ. Catholic schools are mandated by this community to carry out the following mission:

TO PROVIDE
a quality education which integrates faith with culture so that every aspect of the curriculum is taught in light of the Gospel and the Gospel is expressed in terms of the life witness of all those associated with Catholic Education.

TO CREATE
a faith community which recognizes the interdependence of the members of the Catholic educational community - students, parents, priests, teachers, trustees and administrators - in the transmission of the beliefs and values of the community.

TO REINFORCE
and uphold the rights of parents, their beliefs and values, with regard to the education of their children. Co-operation of the home, the school and the Church is essential in imparting Christian attitudes.

TO DEVELOP
the spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical talents of each student in an atmosphere of faith; to educate a student for life, not merely to impart information and skills. Individual talents, skills and abilities are cultivated in such a manner as to instill a sense of personal responsibility to the Creator and to society.
