Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Rochester

CATHOLIC EDUCATION

The Diocese of Rochester holds that Catholic schools serve as an extension of the Church's educational ministry, which continues the teaching mission of Jesus. As a significant component of life long faith formation, Catholic Schools assist families in fulfilling their mission to:

• Preserve and teach the doctrines of the Catholic faith;
• Provide a learning faith community which fosters academic excellence;
• Nurture young people to become service-oriented, responsible and self-disciplined individuals.

Catholic Schools recognize the dignity of each child and the rights of parents as primary educators of their children.
