In unity with St. Matthew’s Catholic Community, the mission of John Paul II Catholic School at St. Matthew’s is to build a strong and academics in a warm and welcoming, caring and Christ-centered environment.

    Our children will learn about faith-not just basic Christianity but how to have a relationship with God.  They concentrate on academics, which in Catholic schools are held to the highest standards, so they can reach their highest potential.  They practice service-giving time, talent and effort to help others-as an expression of both faith and good citizenship.  This combined focus on faith, academics and service prepares student for full and meaningful lives.

    Catholic education is an explicit expression of the evangelizing mission entrusted by Jesus to His Church.  Our mission at John Paul II Catholic School is:

    To teach the message of Jesus Christ through prayer, word, and example;

   

    To promote self-confidence, moral and spiritual values, enabling the

    student to reach full awareness of their God-given talents;

    To build within the parish setting a strong community based on Christian

    faith and service;

    To provide a structured and enriched education program in an atmosphere

    that empowers students to achieve their potential as children of God who

    impact the local and global community.

“Faith is to believe what you do not yet see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe”
