What is National Catholic Schools Week?
Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2021 is January 31 – February 6. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2021 is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.”
Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.
This year our Catholic Schools Week may look a little different than in years past due to the health pandemic, but the faith and fun will be just as grand! We have wonderful activities planned such as pajama and movie day, fun dress up days, and terrific surprises for students to receive all week long!
