About Us

Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we follow the example of Jesus, the Master Teacher, in our ministry to evangelize, catechize, and educate in a caring, efficient, and collaborative manner.

Led by the Holy Spirit and centered in the person of Jesus Christ, the mission of the Department of Catholic Education and Faith Formation is to provide service, support, and guidance to all parish and school communities in the shared ministry of evangelizing, catechizing, and educating with standards of excellence to form lifelong disciples who witness God’s love with joy.
 

In service to our archdiocesan parish and school communities, the goals and priorities of the Department of Catholic Education and Faith Formation are to:

• foster Catholic identity through the Gospel teachings of Jesus so that Christ's presence permeates every aspect of education and faith formation;
• build and model a faith community;
• support and empower schools and parish programs with leadership, services, and resources;
• strengthen the professionalism and accountability among leaders;
• advise, direct, and assist leaders with regard to all applicable laws and policies;
• support our community of schools in creating programs that make a Catholic education accessible to all of God’s children.
