* The word Catholic appears in the name of the National Association of Private Catholic and Independent Schools [NAPCIS] only to reflect the fact that some member schools have received the consent of the competent ecclesiastical authority in their dioceses to bear the title Catholic school in accordance with c.803.3.  NAPCIS claims no authority to determine if a member school can bear this title, nor does membership in NAPCIS permit a school to call itself Catholic.

St. John Bosco Schools is an independent organization.  We are not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, New York, nor do we receive support from any of its parishes.  We are not a "Catholic school" as defined in c.803.3, nor ought anything on this website be interpreted as making a claim to be a "Catholic school."   We recognize that only the local competent ecclesiastical authority can award this title.
