Catholic education in our Diocese forms the whole person – intellectually, spiritually and emotionally.
Grounded in faith, love and community, our schools and Special Religious Education (SRE) programs nurture students on their journey with Christ, offering opportunities to grow in knowledge and their relationship with God.
Through our Diocesan Renewal, we are actively listening, adapting and planning to create a vision for the future of the Diocese. Whether in the classroom or community, we’re committed to lifelong learning rooted in the values of the Church.

BECOME A PART OF OUR FAMILY
Our Schools
Catholic schools in the Diocese of Lismore are committed to offering families a quality education that provides opportunities for students to come to know the depth of God’s merciful love which is offered to each of us individually.
Our Catholic schools seek to provide students with an education that inspires them to become good citizens within Australian society who live out their lives with meaningful purpose, compassion for others and care for creation.
Catholic education is unique in that it holds a deep commitment to the development of the whole person. As a system of schools, we see the young person before us as a unique and irreplaceable child of God and the enrichment of not only their intellect, but also their sense of wellbeing and spirituality as our mission.
We also embrace the belief that Catholic education is a ministry of love where we seek the best for each of the students in our care by leading them into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Our partnership with the whole family is a vital and defining aspect of our educational mission. We recognise families as the first and foremost educators of their children and seek new and vibrant ways of working together for the good of the child.

Lismore Diocesan Renewal Journey
Embracing change
To create a vision for the future
In 2020, the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference established a Plenary Council (the first since 1937) about the future of the Catholic Church in Australia focusing on the key questions:
- What are we called to do?
- Who are we called to be?
- How do we need to change?
“I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security. I do not want a Church concerned with being at the centre and then ends by being caught up in a web of obsessions and procedures.”
— Pope Francis, Gaudium Evangelli
