RE: Directions

Thank you for considering a teaching ministry in the Catholic elementary schools within the Diocese of Brooklyn. The attached application in Adobe format is to be downloaded and completed in its entirety. An incomplete application will not be processed.

We encourage you to read THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE APPLICANT carefully. Your compliance with all the statements #1 through # 6 will allow us to process your application.

As noted on the Application for employment form, a non-refundable filing fee is charged. Therefore, with your completed application kindly enclose a check or money order in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), payable to: Superintendent of Schools.

Applicants must be practicing Catholics. In addition a prospective teacher must have a signed Pastor’s Approval form from a clergy person in the parish where he/she presently worships before an interview can be scheduled. The Pastor’s Approval form is attached in Adobe format. Applicants must download this form and present it to the Pastor with a stamped envelope addressed to this office.

It is essential to write a complete address, including zip code, for all references – Employment History as well as Personal References. Your application will be delayed if this information is missing.
