Abstract
This chapter is based on an empirical study that examines the relationship between Catholic schools and Catholic parishes in Australia. Of particular interest is how the relationship between school and parish informs the way religious education is conducted. One of the features of pre-conciliar Catholicism in many countries was the close connection between schools and parishes.
