The mandate of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to "teach all nations" has been the inspiration of the faithful throughout the centuries to engage in the educational ministry of the Church. Fundamental to all of these efforts for the education of millions is the principal belief that each student must come to understand that he or she was created for the purpose of knowing, loving, and serving God in this world. It was precisely this belief that inspired the founding pastor of the Church of the Epiphany, Monsignor Anthony Ferretti, to dream of an educational foundation that would enable every child of the parish community to appreciate his/her responsibility as a child of God. Monsignor Ferretti's dream became a reality in September of 1930 when four Sisters of Charity opened the doors of Epiphany School to its first students.

Grounded in the charism of St. Vincent De Paul, the spiritual father of the Sisters of Charity who have served Epiphany School has remained the same. Epiphany School exists for the purpose of providing students from prekindergarten through grade eight with an educational experience which is predicated upon the Gospel teachings of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and rooted in the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.

In support of the mission of Epiphany School, the administration, faculty, and staff are committed to:

  • Leading each student to the awareness of his or her roll and responsibilities as a creation of God.
  • Supporting each student's attempt to grow in his or her relationship with God.
  • Encouraging each member of the School community to recognize his or her God-given talents and fostering an atmosphere in which these talents can be used to serve others.
  • Utilizing existing and potential resources to provide students with the opportunity to acquire knowledge in the arts and sciences which enable graduates to function as adult members of the Roman Catholic Church and citizens in a democratic society.

Epiphany School admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School. Epiphany School does not discriminate on the basis or race, color, national, and ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship, athletic, and other school-administered programs.

The non-Catholic student is welcome at Epiphany School. The non-Catholic student is expected to understand and agree that the School exists to educate in the framework of Catholic values. Non-Catholic students must participate in Religion classes and liturgical services scheduled for students during the school year.
