Some people mistakenly believe that our schools are Catholic because they teach religion as a major subject or because the children pray at the beginning of each day or because they go to Mass monthly or even more frequently.

Read the message again; those are powerful words that beautifully and succinctly describe what a Catholic school is all about. Imagine what it means to say, ‘Jesus Christ is the reason for this school.’ What a statement of Catholic identity! Our Lord Jesus Himself is the reason for our Catholic school. He wants our schools to be a means of continuing His very own mission of proclaiming the Gospel.” “Catholic schools are challenged by Jesus Christ Himself to educate the whole child – spiritually, academically, socially, physically, and emotion- ally. The schools of our diocese are Catholic Schools of Excellence. A Catholic School of Excellence means that each child is asked to do his or her level best in all the academic subjects, and to grow in faith, hope, and love each day in imitation of the person, Jesus Christ.” “If Jesus Himself is ‘the unseen but ever-present teacher in all its classrooms,’ that means that ‘religion’ is never just another subject in the curric- ulum. Catholic schools have been, are, and continue to be, an essential part of the mission of the Church because the atmosphere in the school is pervasively Catholic. Religion is not a subject to be learned, it is a way of life that is taught by word and example. When you think about it, chil- dren are in school most of their waking hours during the week. They are present in an ‘atmosphere,’ where the very air they breathe ought to remind them of God’s Holy Spirit at work in the world.” Bishop DiMarzio still speaking…and I am right there with him…“Jesus Christ is the ‘model’ for the school’s faculty and staff. I imagine that teachers and principals may find that a real challenge, but I know from experience that they are up to it. A model is an ideal that we strive for each day, while knowing that we will never fully achieve the perfection of the model. It is in the striving that we achieve our success.” “Finally, Jesus Christ is the ‘strength’ for our parents, ‘inspiration’ for the students in our schools. That means that above all, the school is invit- ing its parents and students to ‘be’ like Jesus. Our Catholic schools are working very diligently to be places where the children and their families can come to know Him and, in turn, make Him known to others.” “Jesus is the one who challenges each of us to ‘put out into the deep.’ Our Catholic Schools of Excellence help all of us to see ‘the deep’ as a less frightening place because He is with us all as ‘the unseen but ever-present teacher.’”

Principal Headliner, September 2017 Jesus Is The Reason for Our School… This was our closing prayer at our Back-to-School Night General Session and you will see it hanging throughout St. Rose School…
Let it be known
to all who enter here
that JesusChrist
is the reason for this school,
the unseen
but ever present
Teacher in its classes,
the Model of its faculty and staff,
the Strength of its parents,
the Inspiration of its students. This statement of faith and fact was referenced in an article in the Catholic Exchange in August 2007 by Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of Brooklyn, New York…and he writes… “I truly believe that our schools are Good News. Some people mistakenly believe that our schools are Catholic because they teach religion as a major subject or because the children pray at the beginning of each day or because they go to Mass monthly or even more frequently. Others may believe, again wrongly, that Catholic schools are only for Catholic student; however, as a part of the evangelizing mission of the Church, our schools are called to proclaim the Gospel, the ‘Good News,’ to all.”
