The Catholic Schools Week theme for 2023-2026 is “Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community.”
Catholic schools have an irreplaceable role in the Church’s mission of evangelization. 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 vision of faith that Christ is the foundation of Catholic education is what unites the school as a faith-filled community.
While faith is the binding element in Catholic schools, the Church reiterates that parents are the first teachers of their children. Holding this tenet, Catholic school communities expand beyond the walls of school buildings to envelop the family as an integral part of the school community. Together teachers, administrators, staff, students and parents fuel the light of faith by integrating culture with faith and faith with living.
