The ministry of teaching occupies an elevated position in the Catholic tradition. In fact, it is the one title that Jesus himself accepted in being called rabboni, or teacher. The challenges and demands of today's diverse culture can make teaching an increasingly stressful vocation. Catholic schools provide a unique, faith-based and Gospel-inspired environment where students, teachers, and families can grow and prosper together, united in a common Catholic faith and mission.
