Happy Catholic Schools Week!
This year we celebrate Catholic Schools Week from January 26th to February 1st.
Catholic education is a pillar of evangelization for our communities and our world, forming young men and women holistically as persons: morally, intellectually, athletically, and spiritually. Catholic school teachers, coaches, and administrations challenge millions of students to engage in critical learning, teamwork, and ultimately to embrace the challenge to become saints.
"Catholic education is above all a question of communicating Christ, of helping to form Christ in the lives of others."
