DIOCESE OF DULUTH: MISSION OF OUR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

Our Catholic schools exist to advance the religious education, formation and service ministries of the Catholic Church. We welcome children into loving Catholic faith communities where religious instruction and faith formation are integrated into all our programs.

​

We value each student as a special and cherished child of God. Our curriculum, classroom instruction and school activities challenge the children to achieve academic excellence, embrace and actively live the Gospel message and make a positive contribution to our Church and society.

​

The Catholic schools maximize the children’s potential for future success. More importantly, we foster motivated life-long Christian disciples to lead and serve our parishes, communities and world.
