Documents
on Catholic
Education
Vatican II

"To fulfill the mandate she has received from

her divine founder of proclaiming the mystery
of salvation to all men and of restoring all
things in Christ, Holy Mother Church must be
concerned with the whole of man's life, even
the secular part of it insofar as it has a bearing
on his heavenly calling. Therefore she has a
role in the progress and development of
education. Hence this sacred synod declares
certain fundamental principles of Christian
education especially in schools."

Holiness, Pope Paul

The influence of the Church in the field of education
is shown in a special manner by the Catholic
school. No less than other schools does the
Catholic school pursue cultural goals and the
human formation of youth. But its proper function is
to create for the school community a special
atmosphere animated by the Gospel spirit of
freedom and charity, to help youth grow according
to the new creatures they were made through
baptism as they develop their own personalities,
and finally to order the whole of human culture to
the news of salvation so that the knowledge the
students gradually acquire of the world, life and man
is illumined by faith

622 Catholic educational
institutions have been
making a distinct
contribution to the well-
being of our country.
623 Catholic educational
institutions are among the
most necessary and
potent means of
evangelization
624 Distinct from non-sectarian
schools, Catholic schools share
with other Christian educational
institutions an integrated view of
the human person grounded in
the person of Jesus Christ.
626 Distinct from the other
works of evangelization,
Catholic educational
institutions can offer a
systematic understanding of
the link between faith and
life.
627 We must sadly admit,
however, that many of the
graduates, do not seem to
have sufficiently
assimilated Christian
values.
628 While evangelization
is supposed to be the
primary concern of
Catholic education, in
practice this has not
always been so.
631 We need to
know the causes of
these deficiencies.
637 Catholic institutions
should therefore
reaffirm evangelization
as their primary goal for
education.
The following are
some of the
needed reforms:
639 (1) Religious
education should be
taken as the core
subject of the school
curriculum.
640 Students’ integrated
formation should help
them realize that their
graduation is a mission-
sending event after a
period of discipleship.
641 (2) On-going spiritual
formation for the administrative,
faculty and non-academic staff
and the students should be
emphasized, with the Eucharist
as the center of their community
life.
642 (3) There should be
periodic and systematic
exposure of administrators,
faculty, staff and students to
the context of the poor and
the needy.
643 (4) School policies
should express the
vision-mission
statement, leading to
an articulation of
values.
645 Coordination with
parents is crucial if
Catholic schools are to
be effective vehicles of
evangelization.
