Superintendent's Message
![]() |
With hope and joy, it is my privilege as the Superintendent of Schools of the Diocese of Joliet to present to you, "Lighting the Path to Our Future: Strategic Plan for Catholic Schools." This plan is the result of countless hours of work by faithful people dedicated to Catholic education in the Diocese. It will provide guidance and direction as together we proclaim that Jesus Christ is the reason for our schools and renew our commitment to the Church's mission to hand on the Catholic faith. May the Light of Christ illuminate our path to a bright future for Catholic schools in the Diocese of Joliet!
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev.. John Belmonte, S.J., Ph.D.
Superintendent of Catholic Schools
Our Mission StatementJesus commissioned His apostles to teach and make disciples. Mindful of this twofold mandate, Catholic schools in the Diocese of Joliet provide formation in the Catholic faith as well as superior academic education to students of diverse backgrounds. Our Christ-centered education nurtures a personal relationship with Jesus and service to others. Our whole child approach integrates Catholic doctrine, prayer, sacraments, and moral decision-making with academic achievement and physical health. Working in partnership with parents and parish communities, Catholic schools prepare students for success in further education, a productive career and a life eternal with God.
