Our Mission

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 the 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 excellance
  • 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.

Integration of Faith & Learning with Faith & Life

The curriculum is the "work" of the school, and the means by which teachers make a committed contribution to the children assigned to their care. According to the NYS Department of Education, curriculum is designed for teaching and learning. In Catholic education, curriculum has another dimension: the reflection of Gospel values. Curriculum integrates faith and learning, faith and life.

We know that the curriculum supports each child's growth in knowledge and skills, but it also includes each one's development of attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors. The curriculum nurtures moral and spiritual development, and guides each child's social, emotional, and physical progress.
