In order to assist the Catholic Church of Pittsburgh to participate more fully in the teaching mission of Christ and to aid the Bishop in his own task as shepherd and teacher of this local Church, the North Hills Region of Catholic Elementary Schools has been established to proclaim the Gospel, to communicate the teaching of the Church, to fashion a people in whom the Word of God has taken root, and to provide the coordination and administration of those programs and services which foster a living conscious, informed and active faith.
