The theme for this year’s Catholic Schools Week is Catholic Schools:
Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.
Whether you are a Catholic School student, have a child in Catholic School, or are neither of the two, there are ways to participate in Catholic Schools Week.
First and foremost, here are the intentions during the week. A small way to participate would be to add these intentions to your regular prayer routine.
Sunday: Celebrating your parish
Monday: Celebrating your community
Tuesday: Celebrating your students
Wednesday: Celebrating the nation
Thursday: Celebrating vocations
Friday: Celebrating faculty, staff, and volunteers
Saturday: Celebrating families
If you want to go further, below are free daily resources from Sadlier Religion. They are geared towards catechists/teachers to use with their students. HOWEVER, you are a catechist/teacher to our youth.
You.
The Catholic School parent who continues conversation about what’s going on at school once you get home.
You, the home school parent.
You, who go to Mass as an example.
You, who answers the occasional random question from the youth that trusts you enough to ask you.
You, who are called through your Baptism to spread the Good News.
These resources are here for you should you need them!
Don’t be afraid to teach so they learn. Be selfless in loving so they know how to serve. Be humble when stepping up so they see how to lead. Teach them what’s important so they know when they truly succeed.
Don’t wait until you are old to start becoming a saint. Begin right now. Cheerfully and joyfully, by fulfilling the duties of your work and of your everyday life.
- St. Josemaria Escriva
