Our Catholic schools are part of the rich inheritance that we cherish and value as members of our Church. Those of us who attended Catholic schools recognise the great gift that was given to us through Catholic education. So important is Catholic education that the Church devotes one of its congregations (Ministries) to it.
“The Catholic School occupies an important place in the Church’s saving mission, since it offers a complete personal formation educating students in the fullness of the faith in a true Christian spirit. The Catholic identity of the school leads to the promotion of the whole human person, because it is in Christ, the perfect human being, that all human values find their fullest realisation and therefore their unity.”
(Declaration on Christian Education, Second Vatican Council)
