Teachers, except in extreme and unusual circumstances, must be practicing Catholics. However, in the event that there are non-Catholic teachers employed in a school, both the Catholic and non-Catholic teachers shall be required to attend Mass and to participate in all religious services/activities with their students and other faculty members and to conduct themselves at all times, in and out of school, in a manner consistent with established Catholic teachings and moral standards. Employees shall not be discriminated against in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender (unless in conflict with Catholic moral teachings), age, disability, veteran status, genetics or any other characteristic protected by law.
