Metro Area Catholic Schools Study Underway

Bishop Joseph Kopacz, together with the Office of Catholic Education and the Canonical Board of Pastors, has approved a comprehensive study of the four Catholic schools in the Jackson Metro area—St. Anthony, St. Joseph, St. Richard, and Sr. Thea Bowman Catholic Schools—and their associated early learning centers—Assisi ELC, St. Richard ELC and St. Paul ELC.

This study will explore ways to streamline operations, grow enrollment, and expand our Catholic presence in the metro area. A committee of parents and stakeholders will help guide the process. The study begins soon and will take 4–7 months. Please continue to pray for our schools and their mission of forming young minds and hearts in Christ in the Jackson Metro area.
