Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Each year, in late January we set aside a week to focus attention on, and to celebrate, our Catholic schools. This year Catholic Schools Week runs from Sunday, January 31, to Saturday, February 6, with the theme, “Dividends for Life: Faith, Knowledge, Discipline, Morals.”
This theme summarizes all the main and most important functions of Catholic schools. First and foremost, Catholic schools exist to teach the Catholic faith and to instill this faith into the hearts of the students. It is through this instilling of the faith that students are led to meet Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, in a personal and life changing way.
