 General Responsibilities of Catholic School Employment:

Employment in and by a Catholic school is substantially different from secular employment.  Catholic school employees must conduct themselves in a manner consistent with and supportive of the school's mission and purpose.  An employee’s behavior must not violate the faith, morals, or laws of the Church or the Archdiocese, as it may embarrass the school or give rise to scandal.  It is preferred that all employees be active, participating members of a faith community.
