Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church supports Catholic education from K through 12. The schools are not tuition-based, but rather are supported by the parish in its entirety and its stewardship program. Each family who sends their children to our schools agrees to the principles in a signed covenant and agrees to maintain a tithe to the parish.

We have about 550 children in our schools, over 40 teachers and administrators and a combined annual parish and school budget of over $2 million. Our elementary class size is less than 24 and our high school classes smaller still.

In keeping with the Declaration of Vatican II, St. Mary's-Colgan Schools strive to attain these ends:

1. To form a Christian Community based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, to afford opportunities for the growth of individual personalities.

2. To create an atmosphere for intellectual pursuits.

3. To give a sense of purpose which will be manifested in a life of usefulness to ones' family, community, and country.

The mission of St. Mary's-Colgan Schools is threefold:

1. To build a faith community where students carry out Jesus' command to love one another. Such a community seeks to enhance self-esteem and provide the opportunity to become caring and concerned members of society.

2. To teach the Gospel Values in every dimension of school life. These values will illuminate and enrich each person's knowledge of God, life and culture.

3. To serve students that they may manifest leadership and grow in their service to God, Church, community, and family.
