Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The Diocese of Nelson is blessed to have Catholic schools in our midst. In addition, we are doubly blessed with dedicated teachers and support staff to educate our children in the Faith.
Along with the home and parents as first educators, and the parish, where our Faith is nourished and celebrated, Catholic schools are integral in the formation of our children in the Catholic Faith. There, the message of the Gospel is proclaimed and every child is helped to know and love Jesus, who desires above all to be known and loved by us.
Our Catholic schools make certain that our Faith community and our society will have future leaders and active and caring citizens who will contribute to the common good, and build a world based on justice, truth and peace.
Thank you for your prayers and continued support of our Catholic schools. God bless you.
Sincerely in Christ our Lord,
Gregory J Bittman
Bishop of Nelson
