The theme for this year’s Catholic Schools Week is Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.
For those of you new to our school, Catholic Schools Week celebrates the contribution that Catholic education provides to children and youth, to our Church, to our communities, and to our nation.
Catholic Schools Week (CSW) celebrates the gifts and talents of school administrators, principals, teachers, parish staff members, students, parents, volunteers, and all who share in the ministry of Catholic education. Catholic Schools Week is a time to thank everyone for all that they do and to pray that God will richly bless us as we continue to teach and inspire future leaders and servants of God’s kingdom.
These are just a few of the things planned for 1/31-2/4/22:
We will not participate in a community opening of Catholic Schools Week mass this year. By the grace of God, we will be back next year!
