The Diocesan Catholic schools are a vital
part of the Church’s mission and ministry. Today they continue
to have a significant role as the Church reaches out to proclaim the
Gospel in our rapidly changing society. The whole community is committed
to contribute to the education, formation and support of the committed
staff who work in the name of the community in our schools in order
to teach and witness to the message of Christ.
