About Us

Mission

The Catholic Schools Office of the Diocese of Joliet was founded in 1949 to support and unify the efforts of the Catholic schools within the diocese. We work as a collaborative team with leadership and staff of diocesan Catholic schools to ensure students and teachers have the resources and support they need prior to and during their enrollment and employment at Diocese of Joliet Catholic Schools. 

Our staff is dedicated to enhancing the ongoing spiritual and educational development of students and staff by managing the curriculum to align with standardized methods that improve teaching, learning and faith formation. As our schools continue to evolve and grow, we implement energetic strategies to increase enrollment, and create systems that serve students from diverse backgrounds in parishes throughout the diocese.

In addition, we support our schools in creative approaches to financial and operational management, and support our teachers and leaders through innovative faith formation and professional learning programs.
