Summary:

This book brings together a range of scholarly essays on the Catholic Church’s commitment to education through an examination of both its traditional teaching congregations and some new educational movements in the Church. This book integrates both historical and contemporary approaches and addresses the current state of play in Catholic schools internationally, whereby laity are tasked with maintaining the charism of the Congregations and Orders as the presence of religious schools has become less. This book provides an introduction to the Orders and Congregations in Catholic Education before providing the historical and contemporary perspective of specific Congregations. It explores both the historical and intended charism before discussing the contemporary and future focused directions of charism in education. .
