Seton Hall is strongly committed to sharing its Catholic identity and mission with the people of New Jersey and others from various states and countries
A few years ago, discussions began with the superintendents of Catholic schools of the Ecclesiastical Province of New Jersey concerning the future of Catholic elementary and high school education. (The Province of New Jersey consists of five dioceses: the Archdiocese of Newark and the Dioceses of Camden, Metuchen, Paterson, and Trenton.) Two years ago, intense discussions resumed in response to the continuing declining numbers of priests, brothers, and sisters and the increase of lay persons employed in the ministry of teaching
Summary
This article summarizes the development and implementation of a Catholic school leadership program at a diocesan university. Many schools in today's cities are heavily populated with wonderful young students from highly diverse ethnic backgrounds This awakens the true definition of what it means to be Catholic. Fox, Mitchel/CATHOLIC SCHOOL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM AT SETON HALL 317 are closely following Pope John Paul II's Tertio Millennio Adveniente (1994) in preparing for the millennium In this treatise, John Paul II prays for a better appreciation and understanding of the signs of hope present in the last part of this century. Seton Hall believes that there are exceptionally gifted and talented Catholic-school educators whose vocation is to minister to both disadvantaged and advantaged students These are the educators who, while on their own personal faith journey, wish to help young people grow into the best they can become physically, mentally, and spiritually. Strong servant leaders can assist today's youth in learning to become the volunteers, the caregivers, and the leaders of the Church
