    Recommending Faithful Catholic
    Education for Catholic Families

What should you look for in faithful Catholic education? Here are the key elements:

  • Salvation of Souls

    It’s about the sanctification and salvation of souls. Prioritizing the souls of students over every other consideration.

  • Catholic Community

    It’s about a joyful, Catholic community. Faithful educators partner with parents to give witness of a life based on Gospel values.

  • Prayer, Scripture and Sacrament

    It’s about providing students with living encounters with Christ. Not just learning Theology, but being continually fed by Christ through prayer, Scripture and the sacrament.

  • Integral Formation

    It’s about formation in mind, body and soul. It’s about forming students to resist relativism, overcome individualism, and discover vocations to serve God and others.

  • Christian Worldview

    It’s about imparting a “Christian vision of the world, of life, of culture, and of history.” Catholic education begins and ends with Christ.

Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Prayer

“Catholic education is above all a question of communicating Christ, of helping to form Christ in the lives of others…”

Every person has a special calling from God… a unique role in this life to serve God and others that no one else can fill.

As Catholics, we want to:

  • receive the grace to hear that calling;
  • respond to that calling with a resounding ‘yes,’
  • and joyfully live out that calling.

In a world full of distractions, confusing messages, and a lack of hope, it can be difficult for Catholic students to hear their particular calling. A truly Catholic education prioritizes the souls of students above all else.

Through a faithful Catholic education, students can be set up for success to lead holy and truly fulfilling lives by embracing their calling from God.

John Henry Newman

“God knows me and calls me by my name.… God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another.”
