2023 Catholic Schools Week
The lasting tradition of Catholic schools: Graduates living the faith and changing the world
Editor’s note: The local theme for our Catholic Schools Week Supplement is, “The lasting tradition of Catholic schools: Graduates living the faith and changing the world.”
Throughout this supplement, readers will find the inspiring stories of individuals embracing that theme—a small, yet powerful representation of the countless graduates of our Catholic schools from across the archdiocese and across the generations who share that approach in their life and their faith.
This supplement also includes stories and photographs that capture the joy, faith and successes of current students in our Catholic schools.
There is also information showing that a Catholic education in the archdiocese is affordable for nearly every family who wants that faith-filled educational experience for their child.
We hope you enjoy this salute to the tremendous influence of Catholic education in our archdiocese and in the world.
