Corpus Christi Parish Pastoral Council Goals, 2011-2016

Dear Parishioners — Approximately every five years, the pastor and the parish pastoral council review and revise as necessary the Goals and Objectives of the parish as part of the on-going parish pastoral planning process.

The Goals and Objectives (ways to attain the goals) are broken down into seven sections which represent the seven elements of parish life:

  • Worship/Liturgy
  • Community
  • Evangelization
  • Teaching
  • Leadership
  • Service and Stewardship.

As each section is finalized, it will be posted here.

Corpus Christi’s Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Designation

Archdiocesan Elementary Schools Recognized with National Award
Corpus Christi Parish School and Nativity of Our Lord Parish School Selected Blue Ribbon Schools

Corpus Christi Parish School (Lansdale, Montgomery County) and Nativity of Our Lord Parish School (Warminster, Bucks County) have been selected by the United States Department of Education as National Blue Ribbon Schools. These two schools have been recognized as only two of 49 private and 255 public schools throughout the country. This brings the total of Archdiocesan elementary schools which have received this distinction to 15. Officials from both schools will attend a conference in Washington, D.C. in November where they will receive this prestigious award.

The Blue Ribbon Program, an effort on the part of the United States Department of Education to identify the best school leadership and best teaching practices, sets a standard of excellence for all schools striving for the highest level of achievement. Each year since 1982, the United States Department of Education has sought out schools where students attain and maintain high academic goals. A list of the 2011 National Blue Ribbon Schools is available at www2.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/index.html.
