Catholic Schools Week
From January 31 through February 5, our nation will celebrate Catholic Schools Week. This is a time to reaffirm the spiritual value of all children in the eyes of God, to encourage young people to reach for academic achievement, and to recognize families and parishes for the sacrifices made on behalf of Catholic education.
Catholic schools are commissioned to ground young people in the teachings of Christ. The world needs them to become change agents – able not only to cope with the world, but inspired to transform the world with the teachings of the Gospel. Today, and every day, we give thanks for our schools, their rich heritage and their role in shaping the hearts and minds of tomorrow’s leaders.
