Making God Known, Loved, and Served
The Future of Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in the United States
In 2005, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., appointed the Task Force on Catholic Education in response to an invitation from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to help revitalize America’s unique Catholic school system.
This task force’s response, released Dec. 8, 2006 and titled “Making God Known, Loved, and Served: The Future of Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in the United States,” identifies 12 areas in which the University can support Catholic schools, and five recommended steps for Church and civic leaders.
Directed by Rev. Timothy Scully, C.S.C., founder of the Alliance for Catholic Education and director of the Institute for Educational Initiatives, the task force assembled some 50 Catholic educators, diocesan representatives, philanthropists, investment specialists and Notre Dame faculty and staff, who met over 14 months.
