The theme for the 2026 Diocesan Annual Campaign, Faithful Stewards, reminds us that each of us is entrusted with the sacred responsibility of caring for the gifts God has placed in our lives—our faith, our families, our parishes, and our communities.

Catholic Education Commission

A Vision for the next generation

Catholic education is more than an educational enterprise. It is a ministry of evangelization. It is a partnership between families, parishes, schools and the Diocese. It is one of the most visible expressions of the Church’s commitment to forming young people in faith, knowledge, virtue and service.

For generations, Catholic schools have shaped the lives of countless students throughout the Diocese. They have formed future priests, religious, educators, business leaders, civic leaders, parents and faithful parishioners. They have provided a foundation not only for academic achievement but also for lives rooted in Christ and committed to the common good.
