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 2017 is January 29th - February 4th. The theme for the National Catholic Schools Week 2017 is "Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service." Catholic schools nationwide, like Santa Fe, 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.
