Sr. Bernadette McManigal, BVM

Superintendent of Catholic Schools

Office of Catholic Schools

200 North Glebe Road, Suite 503

Arlington, VA 22203

Dear Sr. Bernadette:

I would like to express my strong interest in serving the Diocese of Arlington through a teaching position at

one of the Diocese’s Catholic schools.

As a senior at Christendom College expecting to graduate in May with a Bachelor’s degree in Theology, I

believe that I would be able to be of great service to the Diocese of Arlington’s school system. I have had

extensive experience both in teaching and in working for Catholic organizations, and my broad liberal arts

education has well-prepared me to teach a diverse range of subjects. Also, by taking a six-credit Teaching

Practicum, I have gained valuable skills through twelve weeks of observation and teaching experience at three

local private schools (two Catholic and one Christian).

In working as a teacher for the Diocese of Arlington, I would have the privilege of combining my love for

teaching with my desire to serve the Church. I am very excited about the possibility of becoming a part of

Arlington’s vibrant Catholic community through employment with the Diocese (as have a number of other

Christendom College graduates whom I know and who have spoken enthusiastically and highly of their

teaching experiences in Diocesan schools).

I am confident that my enthusiastic commitment to the Faith, my ability to multi-task and adapt to new

environments, and my attentive concern for the development of the whole person will serve me well in the

intellectual and spiritual formation of the youth of this Diocese. I intend to bring to my position as a Catholic

school teacher the same energy, joy, and work ethic that has impressed my college professors and previous

employers, and through which I hope to inspire young people to embrace the beauty of learning and

encounter the love of Jesus Christ.

I would very much like to have a conversation with you in the near future to learn more about the Diocesan

hiring process for Catholic school teachers, and to establish a mutual interest. I will call you by the end of the

week to answer any questions you may have about my qualifications and background.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely yours,

John Doe
