Creating Champions for Catholic Education
Catholic education is a vital ministry of the Church, shaping the minds, hearts, and spirits of our youth through a Christ-centered curriculum rooted in academic excellence and moral development. In the Diocese of Raleigh, our Catholic schools are more than institutions of learning—they are communities of faith that prepare students to become compassionate leaders, thoughtful citizens, and faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
The Diocese of Raleigh is experiencing significant growth, with many families seeking values-based education for their children. Catholic schools in our region provide a nurturing environment where Gospel values are integrated into every subject, fostering a deep sense of purpose and service. Our schools serve a diverse student body, including many from underserved and economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our Catholic schools consistently achieve high academic standards, with students scoring above national averages and graduating at higher rates than their peers in public institutions. Even more importantly, they grow in faith, integrity, and a sense of responsibility to the broader community. The mission of Catholic education is not only to educate but to evangelize—to form young people in the image of Christ and equip them to carry their faith into every aspect of their lives.
Our new superintendent, Marcelo Eureste believes in the formation of Catholic leaders. This will be a focus for the Office of Education. Investing in professional development and continuing education for our leaders will be vital.
Tuition alone does not cover the true cost of educating a child in our schools. Your support is essential to bridge the gap between what families can afford and the actual cost of providing a robust Catholic education. Contributions from individuals, parishes, and organizations make scholarships, updated learning resources, teacher development, and facility improvements possible.
Now more than ever, the Diocese of Raleigh needs champions of Catholic education—people who believe in its mission and its transformative power. Your investment is not only in students, but in the future of our Church and our world. Together, let us build a legacy of faith, excellence, and opportunity for generations to come.
