Mission Statement

The Center for Catholic Education, in conjunction with the Aquinas College School of Education, serves Catholic elementary and secondary schools by providing spiritual and professional formation opportunities in the area of mission and Catholic identity.

About the Center

Formation may be given for faculty and staff members of individual schools or on a diocesan level. Sessions for those engaged in school leadership as well as presentations for parents are also available. Some of the topics listed are also suitable for either retreat or in-service formats.

We collaborate with the principals and/or superintendents to customize formation sessions by grouping topics in order to meet needs of content or length of sessions. Please contact us! If you have a need or interest that is not included in this list, we invite you to have a conversation with us.
