Education in our Catholic faith and tradition is a critical component of the Diocese of Green Bay's greater mission. Through our Catholic schools we support all members of our Catholic community in becoming well-versed in the tenets of our faith and committed to living as Jesus asked us to live.

Our Catholic schools welcome all students and are committed to a partnership with parents. We provide a welcoming family-like environment in which our staff and administrators work collaboratively with themselves and their counterparts in religious education, adult faith formation, and all other parish ministries.


Catholic School Initiative Project
Bishop David Ricken will approve and promulgate a long-range, strategic plan for Catholic Schools on March 30, 2012. The plan will be on the Diocesan Web site (CLICK HERE) after Bishop Ricken promulgates it.

The Diocesan Department of Education's Catholic School Initiative Project was initiated from an April 13, 2010 meeting where all pastors/parish directors and system/school administrators were invited to primarily look closely at fostering Catholic schools and the challenges facing the schools and parishes. This group generated a list of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and challenges. There are six areas of concern:
  • Finances
  • Marketing
  • Small Community Schools
  • Collaboration among All Catholic Schools
  • Collaboration between Parish/School/Diocese
  • Faith Integration.
