Welcome Back!

The Diocese of Paterson Catholic Schools office enthusiastically welcomed back over 7,000 students to our 25 elementary and secondary schools across three New Jersey counties this month. After our successful AdvancED re-accreditation this past spring, the Diocese of Paterson schools are ready to continue providing the Christ-centered, academically excellent educational experience that is unique to our special Catholic school community.
 
Students, however, are not the only ones who receive the benefit of first day orientations as they walk through the doors in September. Our new principals and teachers received a warm welcome and a thorough orientation, led by the Catholic Schools Office, shortly before the school year began and our team of school principals and presidents gathered on August 22 for our annual opening school year mass and kickoff meeting.
 
We are delighted to have the classrooms throughout the diocese bustling with activity again and look forward to an amazingly productive year!  Click here to read about the Catholic Advantage and for help in finding a Catholic school near you.
