Catholic Schools Week:
To be celebrated Jan. 25-31
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "Catholic Schools: A Faith-Filled Future" is the theme for the 30th annual celebration of Catholic Schools Week. The week runs from Sunday, Jan. 25, through Saturday, Jan. 31. The centerpiece of the week - National Appreciation Day For Catholic Schools - is Wednesday, Jan. 28.
A long-time tradition in Catholic education, Catholic Schools Week became part of the National Marketing Campaign For Catholic Schools in 1991. This program is a collaborative undertaking by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
"Catholic education is one of the great and generous works of the church. Our graduates have become leaders of this country, teachers, religious men and women, and business
entrepreneurs. Without doubt our schools have had a far-reaching impact on shaping the world," said Michael J. Guerra, NCEA president.
Dominican Sister Glenn Anne McPhee, secretary for education at USCCB, said that this year's theme of "Catholic Schools: A Faith-Filled Future" underscores faith as an important value at the foundation of a Catholic school curriculum and also gives assurance that Catholic schools foresee a bright future. "Catholic school leaders are committed to making a
difference. Our goal is to graduate students who have strong moral standards and fine academic skills who will become good citizens and able members of the workforce." Full story ...
