Catholic Education and Faith Formation

In an effort to better serve the faithful of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, I am pleased to announce the creation of the Department of Catholic Education and Faith Formation.

The Department of Catholic Education and Faith Formation includes Catholic schools, parish schools of religion, RCIA programs, evangelization, adult education, and catechist certification programs focused on a shared ministry of forming life-long disciples. Dr. RaeNell Houston will serve as Executive Director and Superintendent of Catholic Schools and will be supported by Deputy Director of Faith Formation, Deacon Michael Whitehouse and Deputy Superintendent for Catholic Schools Mrs. Martha Mundine along with additional professional staff. By creating this department, it is our hope to eliminate a duplication of efforts enabling us to focus resources on Catholic education and religious education for all ages in both our parishes and our Catholic schools.

The mission statement of the Department of Catholic Education and Faith Formation is:
