Helping Those Harmed by Harvey
Our continued prayers are with all those in the path of this devastating storm - the rescue workers, the stranded, and those giving of themselves to aid others. In a special way, please pray for the education of all the students in the affected areas - instead of a normal back-to-school season, they are dealing with the devastation.

If you would like to aid those schools and students in need, the National Catholic Educational Association is coordinating a " Student to Student Catholic School Response to Hurricane Harvey" - please visit the link to learn more and participate.

Additionally, you may lend support during the special national collection at Mass on the weekends of September 2-3 and 9-10.

If your area is impacted, you may find resources from the Department of Education here.

Lastly, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston and USCCB President Cardinal DiNardo released a statement about the hurricane here.

Welcome Back
From all of us at the Secretariat of Catholic Education, we wish you a blessed school year as classes get underway. We hope you are refreshed, renewed, and re-energized for the next nine months. Next week, we will get back to our regular topics on CE News. Enjoy your Labor Day weekend, and say an extra prayer for the Gulf Coast region.
