Vision of the Department of Education

The vision of the Diocese of Green Bay Department of Education is one that challenges our parishes and schools to become supporters of lifelong Catholic learning. This vision immerses adults and children in discipleship and helps them build up the Kingdom of God. This call to discipleship will ensure that the Diocese of Green Bay has the premier Catholic educational program in the country.

Adult Faith Formation will be at the center of the educational mission of the Catholic Church. The adult catechetical efforts of the parishes will be formative experiences that help adults to know and defend their faith. These experiences will challenge adults to share prayer, talents, time, treasures and faith with others. Adult Faith Formation main page.

Religious Education Programs will aid parents and guardians in responding to their baptismal promise of being the primary teachers of the faith.  Programs will lead our children to Christ through Sacraments, Scripture and the rich Tradition of the Catholic Church. A positive environment will be created for life-long Catholic learning. Religious Education main page.

Catholic Schools will continue to welcome all students and are committed to a partnership with parents and guardians. Our schools will embrace the Gospel imperative of service to others. Students will be missionaries who are spreading the gospel and defending their faith. Graduates will be known for their excellent academic preparation through the standards, benchmarks and assessments set forth. Catholic Schools main page.

Through this Vision, adults and children throughout the 16 counties of the Diocese of Green Bay will be inspired to be lifelong Catholic disciples. Learning will be rooted in Word, Sacrament, community and service. We will learn, love and live our Catholic faith.
