Catholic Faith

Education enriched with Christ

As a Catholic school, the religious core of our tradition is rooted in Christianity and the richness of the Roman Catholic tradition. At the core of this tradition is the tenet that we must love one another as God has loved us. St. Matthew Catholic School's Catholic identity does not come simply from religious instruction. It is embedded in all parts of our daily life at school.

At St. Matthew, your children not only receive lessons on the basics but also learn the values they need to make the world a better place to live. They learn that right is always best and that there is value in being good. They learn that we are all children of God, loved by God, and that we should care for others accordingly. Their education is an act of creation—the creation of compassionate members of the world community.
