ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Reverend Nicholas L. Gregoris, a member of Priestly Society of Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman, holds theological degrees from the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Faculty Marianum, both in Rome, as well as a doctorate in Catholic school administration from Pontifex University. He is the managing editor of The Catholic Response magazine.
Fr Nicholas was the major translator of The Mission of Catholic Schools: A Century of Reflection and Direction, a perfect resource for curriculum development, Catholic identity assessment, professional development seminars and the creation of mission statements. This anthology originated from the repeated wish of “practitioners” to have a handy collection of ecclesiastical documents on Catholic schools. Under that rubric, included are papal teachings, as well as texts from the Second Vatican Council, the Congregation for Catholic Education, the Code of Canon Law, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. Although the Church has been engaged in the education apostolate from her earliest days, it was deemed necessary to take on a reasonable focus—a century of reflection seemed to fit the bill, beginning with the pontificate of Benedict XV and ending with that of Francis.
