Religion Department Mission Statement
To provide the means necessary to promote the Catholic Graduate Expectations, so that students are not only learning about the faith but living it in their daily lives. To read more about the expectations of a Catholic school graduate, please click here.
“Catholic schools, which always strive to join their work of education with the explicit proclamation of the Gospel, are a most valuable resource for the evangelization of culture, even in those countries and cities where hostile situations challenge us to greater creativity in our search for suitable methods.” Pope Francis, Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium (Joy of the Gospel) (2013)
