Our Purpose

 

The Catholic Curriculum Corporation is a consortium of seventeen Catholic school boards

across central and western Ontario. As an important partner in Catholic education, we recognize

that Catholic education exists to provide a holistic formation of people as living witnesses of faith.

We demonstrate our mission when we engage with, and support our member boards in sustained,

substantive school improvement and student growth that is reflective of a Catholic professional

learning community.

​

Our Mission

​

Our mission is to build and sustain the Catholic capacity of educators through the development and provision of high quality Catholic curriculum, resources, support and professional development.

 

Our Vision

​

Faith Through Learning – A Distinctive Catholic Curriculum

 

 

Message from the Executive Director

​

On behalf of the Catholic Curriculum Corporation, I would like to thank Robert Gallo, project lead, and the team of contributors from Toronto, Windsor-Essex, and York District School Boards for their expertise and dedicated efforts in producing this resource. Thanks are also extended to Grant McMurray for his guidance as Curriculum Manager.

Communion Through Community is a collection of online resources designed to support and enhance the journey of our students towards the sacrament of Communion. Teachers can use the resources completely or as needed to supplement their preparation, and, can also connect with other schools in their district to further deepen and expand their sacramental preparation.

Once again, I offer sincere thanks to those who have supported our teachers with this resource. I wish continued success to all who use this resource while sharing and celebrating our Catholic mission in education.

 

Michael Bator,

Executive Director
