MISSION STATEMENT

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
AND SET THE WORLD ON FIRE

“You are the light of the world… let your light shine so others may see the good things you do and praise God.” Matthew 5:14–16

At St. Catherine’s, we shine bright by learning, loving, and caring in an environment where we feel safe, happy and confident. We believe everyone is special and made in God’s image. We help each other grow and share our gifts to make the world a better place.

We believe in:

being kind, respectful, and fair to everyone (service)
living like Jesus in and out of school (honesty)
celebrating everyone’s achievements, big or small (inspire)
nurturing our relationships with families, parish, and communities. (Nurturing)
valuing our differences and learning from each other (Embracing)

We let our light shine brightly for all to see! Be who God wants us to be. Together, we can achieve and set the world on fire with kindness and faith.
