. . . This as it were objective gift of holiness is offered to all the baptized.

But the gift in turn becomes a task, which must shape the whole of Christian life: "This is the will of God, your sanctification" (I Th 4:3). It is a duty which concerns not only certain Christians: "All the Christian faithful, of whatever state or rank, are called to the fullness of the Christian life and to the perfection of charity."

~Novo Millennio Ineunte, Pope John Paul II

St. John Bosco Schools, as an organization, is so ordered as to support the universal call to holiness of all members of the Catholic Church in faithfulness to the Magisterium. Our Catholic identity is at the root of all of our collective activity.

* St. John Bosco Schools is an independent school. We are not affiliated with the Diocese of Rochester, we do not receive any financial support from the Diocese of Rochester or any of its institutions or parishes, nor do we claim the title of "Catholic School" in accordance with c.803.3. We respect the jurisdiction of the local Bishop in matters relevant to instruction in the doctrines and beliefs of the Catholic Faith.

St. John Bosco Schools is a member of the National Association of Private Catholic* Independent Schools (NAPC*IS). The word Catholic appears in the name of the NAPC*IS organization only to reflect the fact that some member schools have received the consent of the competent ecclesiastical authority in their diocese to bear the title Catholic School in accordance with c.803.3. NAPC*IS claims no authority to determine if a member school may bear this title, nor does membership in NAPC*IS permit a school to call itself Catholic.
