The Catholic schools in the diocese trace their roots in two remarkable people who were devoted to education and their Catholic faith. In what is now South Bend, Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C. and the brothers of the Congregation of the Holy Cross founded the University of Notre Dame in 1842. In the Fort Wayne area, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin along with Sisters Mary Magdalen, Catherine, and Caroline of the Sisters of Providence founded St. Augustine Academy in 1846. In 1858, after a request by Saint Mother Guerin, the bishop acquired the assistance of the Brothers of the Holy Cross to instruct the boys. The opening of St. Augustine Academy and the hard work of Saint Mother Guerin and the Sisters of Providence paved the way for Catholic schools in the diocese.
Although many years have passed since Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C. labored, taught, and prayed for the children, families, and Catholics residing in our diocese, our principals, teachers, and staff are just as committed to teaching the truth and beauty of our Catholic faith as were the founding Sisters of Providence and the Brothers of the Holy Cross.
The mission of our Catholic Schools is to assist parents in forming their children so that they may grow in holiness, develop their gifts and talents to serve others, and ultimately reach their eternal destiny in heaven. Teaching in a Catholic school is a vocation and continues the teaching and evangelizing mission of Jesus. As Christ came to witness to the love of His Father, so our Catholic School administrators, teachers, and staff are witnesses to that love. As Saint Mother Theodore Guerin said “love the children first, then teach them.”
As Catholic Schools educators and staff, we are dedicated to providing strong faith and academic formation and we call our students to recognize the love of God in their midst and to contribute their talents in service to others, especially those in need.
Many teachers, parents, and alumni describe our schools as having an atmosphere of “family.” Working together, we help each student become the person God created them to be. Our schools are safe, welcoming places, and where learning abounds, and Christ is truly at the center of all that we do.
