It is our challenge to work with families, so that children can grow in God's great love, free to practice their faith with pride and assurance. The role of Catholic education is to support the family unit in guiding a child's religious response to God.

The world needs good news and the good news that we have to offer is the Gospel of Christ that permeates all that we do.
