“Each year, the last week of January is dedicated to the national celebration of Catholic Schools Week—an opportunity for our community to rejoice in the truth, beauty, and goodness of Catholic education. As our patron, Pope St. John Paul II, reminds us, “The mission of the Catholic school is the integral formation of students, so that they may be true to their condition as Christ’s disciples and…work effectively for the evangelization of culture and for the common good of society.”
This mission reminds us that a Catholic school is not an isolated institution, but a living community formed through the collaboration of families, school, and Church. Catholic Schools Week, therefore, is a celebration of the whole—an invitation to gratitude within each of these relationships. How is gratitude being lived and expressed in these three areas? How will Catholic Schools Week be celebrated within the school of your home?” — Headmaster Eric Schreiber
