2010-11 Board Theme: Because We Believe Our Catholic Faith Comes Alive in Our Schools.

What does it mean to have our Catholic faith come alive in our schools? The Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education states, "the educational community of a Catholic school should be trying to become a Christian community: a genuine community of faith." (Lay Catholics in Schools: Witnesses To Faith, Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education, 1982, paragraph 41)

This year there will be an opportunity to further the faith development of all, to totally immerse staff and students “in a Catholic environment with a sense of sacramentality with God being present in all things.” (Ristau, K. M.; Catholic Schools)

Our schools will continue to provide “a kind of education with curriculum inspired more by reflection than by technique, more by a search for wisdom than by the accumulation of information." (Pope John Paul II, 1984, Newfoundland)
