COLORADO SPRINGS. The Diocese of Colorado Springs is entering a new era for Catholic education, one marked by deeper faith, stronger community partnerships, and an unwavering commitment to forming missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. This transformation is not simply a refinement of current practices, but rather a reawakening to the true mission of Catholic education, to integrate faith into every corner of life and to build a culture where Catholic identity flourishes not only in the classroom, but in homes, parishes, and the broader world.
