CATHOLIC EDUCATION

Providing a spiritually sound and academically excellent system of Catholic schools remains a vital mission of the Diocese of Scranton. In the 2010 academic year, more than 6,600 elementary, middle and high school students learned valuable lessons that helped them develop academically, emotionally and spiritually.

Your generous gift to the 2011 Annual Appeal will enable us to retain the most qualified and committed teachers, provide excellent support services, upgrade our technological capabilities and serve the varying needs of our students. The Annual Appeal also helps us diversify our elective offerings and bolster our core subject areas.

Many of you have told us that the past few years of restructuring our parishes and school system have been difficult. Thank you for your perseverance. Your dedication and devotion to the Gospel is viewed as a sign of the Spirit’s presence, and we remain committed to promoting as much stability as possible throughout the Diocese. With your help, we can continue to grow and expand upon this critical mission of the Church.
