In today’s world, Catholic schools are called to be more than places of education - they are communities rooted in mission and identity, where every staff member shares in the work of evangelization.
In this inservice with the Newman Catholic Schools staff, we’ll explore how knowing and telling our own faith story can strengthen our sense of purpose, bring clarity to our mission, and help us witness to the Gospel in ways that connect with the hearts of students and families.
