Purpose of Position
To provide instructional classes in all assigned subjects by the school/parish mission statements, guiding principles, philosophy, handbooks, curriculum, and directions established by the Principal, Assistant Principal, President, and Pastor.
We are looking for mission-driven candidates who are attentive to results and have a strong calling to serve in a faith-filled urban school.
General Responsibilities
Employment in and by the Church is substantially different from secular employment. Church employees must conduct themselves in a manner that is consistent with and supportive of the mission and purpose of the Church. Their behavior must not violate the faith, morals, or laws of the Church or the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis such that it can embarrass the Church or give rise to scandal. This position does not require that the employee be a Catholic. It is expected that all employees respect Catholic doctrine and religious practices. Teachers must teach the adopted Catholic Religion Curriculum, including the PCYI curriculum, leading daily prayer and supervision at mass. Reasonable accommodation for employees not of the Catholic faith will be provided for the religious practice.
