Adopted: December 6, 2010

The Mission Statement of the Board articulates the role of the Board, through the charisms of faith, social justice, support and leadership, to nurture an enriching Catholic learning community for all to reach their full potential and become living witnesses of Christ.

To support the Board in carrying out its Mission, the Board may confer, by Board motion, the title of Honorary Chairperson of the Board on the Bishop of St. Catharines. In so doing, the Board recognizes that while the Bishop does not have any governance function with the Board, he is our leader in matters of faith.

The role of the Honorary Chairperson is to provide guidance to the Board, its staff and students in matters of faith.
