For the first time in the history of Catholic primary education schools in Ireland have been offered, in the form of a curriculum, a structured outline for Religious Education and Faith Formation. It is the first formal Religious Education curriculum for all Catholic preschools and primary schools in the whole island of Ireland. Jesus Christ is at the heart of all activity in a Catholic school. Religious Education is not just one of the many areas of the curriculum but the basis of the entire educational process.

Catholic Education is directed towards the growth of the whole person in the context of the relationship with God in Jesus Christ. Its purpose is to form people of love, care and compassion; who will serve the world by their gifts.
