Diocese to Host Maine Catholic School Summit

The Diocese of Portland will hold the Maine Catholic Education Summit, hosted by Bishop James Ruggieri & Maine Catholic Schools Superintendent Shelly Wheeler, on Wednesday, November 6 at 6 p.m. The event will take place at the St. John’s Community Center, 43 Pleasant Street in Brunswick.

Catholic school leaders, faculty and staff members; clergy and religious with or without Catholic schools in their parishes; Catholic school families; parishioners; donors; Catholic homeschool families and all those interested in Catholic education are invited to join in this important conversation.

The purpose of the summit is to understand the perception of key Catholic school stakeholders on the current state of Catholic schools in the Diocese of Portland and how the diocese can strengthen these schools to ensure their long-term vitality. Additionally, the summit will examine how Catholic schools can enhance their parish communities including how to reach homeschooling families and how to best support these families with their Catholic education endeavors.

The diocese is partnering with ADAC (https://theadac.com) to offer this evening of discussion and facilitated questions/answers to learn about the state of Catholic education in Maine.
