About OCSOA

We, the members of the Catholic Supervisory Officers’ Association, believe that we have a mission to serve the Roman Catholic education community of Ontario through the exercise of the charisma of leadership. We understand leadership in the scriptures and, most particularly, as it is revealed in the words and actions of Jesus Christ. We affirm that leadership is for the service of others and that the exercise of our gifts, talents and time are for the building up of the community.
