Our Mission
Our mission is to build and sustain the Catholic capacity of educators through the development and provision of high-quality Catholic curriculum, resources, support and professional development.
Our Vision
Faith Through Learning – A Distinctive Catholic Curriculum
Message from the Executive Director
On behalf of the Catholic Curriculum Corporation, I would like to thank Kelly Pickard-Lefterys, project lead, and the team of contributors from the York, Huron-Perth, Brant-Haldimand-Norfolk, and Simcoe-Muskoka Catholic District School Boards for their expertise and dedicated efforts in producing this resource. Thanks are also extended to Grant McMurray for his guidance as Curriculum Manager.
This document provides System Leaders, School Chaplains, Classroom Educators and other school staff the tools necessary to provide pastoral support and guidance to students and their families, as well as to staff who are impacted by a bereavement or other tragic event. School System staff will be empowered to respond appropriately and effectively to these unfortunate circumstances within a Catholic School context.
Once again, I offer sincere thanks to those who have supported our teachers with this resource. I wish continued success to all who use this resource while sharing and celebrating our Catholic mission in education.
Michael Bator,
Executive Director
