Catholic Schools Week

This week, the week of 26 January-1 4ebruary, is being observed as Catholic Schools Week. This year's theme for Catholic Schools Week is  Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community."

This theme is designed to reflect that Catholic schools have an irreplaceable role in the Church's evangelizing mission. Building on the central goal of Catholic schools to form saints, Catholic schools teach and embrace the whole person, body, mind and spirit. The fact that all members of a Catholic school community share the Christian vision of faith that Christ is the foundation of Catholic education is what unites the school as a faith-filled community.

The Catholic Schools Week logo symbolizes the united community of Catholic schools - not a building or an institution, but people of faith serving God and others. No Catholic school can fulfill its educational role alone. As a community, Catholic schools are nourished and stimulated by the centrality of the word of Christ expressed through knowledge, service, scripture and sacramental tradition.
Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community is a theme on which to build a spirit of the gospel to benefit the human family
