4. The Church of St. Mary is Committed to The Ministry of the School A Shared Responsibility “ Elementary education is an extension of parental education; it is extended and cooperative home schooling. In a true sense schools are extensions of the home. Parents- and not schools either the state or the Church- have the primary moral responsibility of educating children to adulthood. Like a good Mother, the Church offers help to families by establishing Catholic schools that ensure the integral formation of their children. “ The Holy See’s Teaching on Catholic Schools , Archbishop J.
