THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN IRELAND    
Catholic education is inspired by Jesus Christ.  It is person centred, seeking to develop the full potential of each person.    
Catholic education values intellectual and practical reason, promoting dialogue and understanding between faith, tradition, culture and heritage
Catholic education values tolerance and inclusiveness.  Catholic schools welcome pupils of other traditions, faiths and none, seeing such diversity as offering opportunities for deeper understanding among people holding diverse convictions. 
Catholic education seeks to enable pupils act with integrity and justice, in pursuit of the common good in an imperfect world, and to act as stewards of creation. 
(excerpt from the Pastoral Letter of the Irish Catholic Bishops). 
‘A vision for Catholic Education in  Ireland’.
