Some Background on the Catholic College of Mandeville – In 1991, a new diocese was created in Jamaica and was called the Catholic Diocese of Mandeville under the jurisdiction of Bishop Paul M. Boyle, C.P. Developing education was one of his goals for the diocese, especially the upgrading of teachers in the Catholic schools. However, after visiting several schools and talking with principals, it became clear that a structured programme providing qualification in teacher education was the route to go in order to assist the teachers, the children, and ultimately Jamaica.
Bishop Boyle and Sister Una O’Connor, CP founded the Catholic College of Mandeville in response to this need. This higher education facility gives the opportunity for Bachelor and Master level diplomas to students who wish to teach the children of Jamaica. The affordability of this college is a major factor in its expanding enrollment, especially for women. Still, today, too many Jamaican elementary and secondary schools are staffed by under-educated teachers, leaving the students without quality education vital to advancement. A gift to this ministry would provide for educational materials for teachers and students and scholarships to potential enrollees.
