About
"Beloved sons and daughters of the Catholic Church, brothers and sisters in the faith: Catholic education is above all a question of communicating Christ, of helping to form Christ in the lives of others."
- Saint John Paul II
Admissions
"We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song!" We are not looking for a shallow joy but rather a joy that comes from faith, that grows through unselfish love, that respects the "fundamental duty of love of neighbor, without which it would be unbecoming to speak of Joy." - Saint John Paul II
Academics
"As teachers, you kindle in your students a thirst for truth and wisdom. You spark off in them a desire for beauty. You introduce them to their cultural heritage. You help them to discover the treasures of other cultures and peoples. What an awesome responsibility and privilege is yours in the teaching profession." - Saint John Paul II
Catholic Identity
"Do not be afraid to break out of comfortable and routine modes of living, in order to take up the challenge of making Christ known in the modern 'metropolis'."
- Saint John Paul II
Crusader Life
"The first and fundamental step towards this cultural transformation consists in forming consciences with regard to the incomparable and inviolable worth of every human life. It is of the greatest importance to re-establish the essential connection between life and freedom. These are inseparable goods: where one is violated, the other also ends up being violated. There is no true freedom where life is not welcomed and loved; and there is no fullness of life except in freedom."
Saint John Paul II
Athletics
"When sports are played and understood in the right way, they are an extraordinary expression of a person's best energies and of his ability to overcome difficulties, to set himself goals to be reached through sacrifice, generosity, and determination in facing the difficulties of competition."
- Saint John Paul II
Arts
"To all who are passionately dedicated to the search for "new epiphanies" of beauty so that through their creative work as artists they may offer these as gifts to the world. "
- Saint John Paul II
Support CTK
"Parents must set themselves very definite priorities, such as the determination to have schools in which their children's faith will be respected, fostered, and enriched; schools in which their children learn the value and beauty of the Church's teaching. They must also see to it that their own homes are places in which these values are first fostered and lived. Parents' own practice of the faith, their own love for Christ, is of course fundamental."
- Saint John Paul II

Joyful Service: Experienced Through the Lens of Those Being Served

Sometimes the most powerful lessons are the ones you feel.

As part of a special service day, our freshmen gained a deeper understanding of what it means to experience hunger. Through an eye-opening activity, they experienced how socioeconomic realities can shape access to something as basic as a meal. What followed was action.

Students came together at LifeLine meal-packing ministry, working side by side to pack meals for those facing hunger both in our local community and around the world. There was energy, purpose, and genuine joy in the room. Joy that comes from doing something meaningful together.

At CTK, we are called to serve others, and this special day brought that mission to life in a tangible way. When students see the impact they can make, service becomes more than an idea. It becomes a way of life.
