Common Statement of Unity for Catholic Education

The Pastors and Principals of Immaculate Conception, St. Helen’s and
Ascension schools are committed to ensure that all children in these
parishes have an opportunity for a Catholic Education.

education, we agree not to accept enrollment of students from each
other’s schools until a further process of regional planning has taken
place, to ensure the best plan of education possible.

Our parishes have begun collaborative discussions with one another on a
number of levels to promote a strong and secure future for our
children’s education.
