“The Church needs men and women who are intent on teaching by word and example – intent on helping to permeate the whole educational milieu with the spirit of Christ. This is a great vocation, and the Lord himself will reward all who serve in it as educators in the cause of the word of God.” – Message of John Paul II to the National Catholic Educational Association of the United States, April 16, 1979
To Our Faith-Filled Educators,
To our Faithful Catholic Educators, The Church is deeply grateful for your commitment to our Catholic educational mission, our students and your good and faithful service to our Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Denver. By answering the Lord’s call to teach in a Catholic school, you have said yes to more than just teaching; you have said yes to being part of a movement that exists to provide an integral human formation that will enable our young men and women to come to know love and serve God, and grow in wisdom and virtue, that they might be truly free and fully alive because they have come to know the truth about who they were created to be and for what they were created for as sons and daughters of God. Know how deeply grateful we are for your commitment to this vital ministry of the Church of Northern Colorado.
This is a listing of the teachers and staff members of our Catholic schools here in the Archdiocese of Denver who are celebrating milestone anniversaries. Congratulations to you all.
