What Is Catholic Schools Week?

Catholic Schools Week is a national celebration of the role Catholic schools play in forming students academically, spiritually and socially, celebrated January 25-21, 2026.

This year’s theme, Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community, highlights:
     • Our shared faith in Christ
     • The partnerships between schools, families and parishes
     • The sense of belonging that defines Catholic education

Together, our schools form one community rooted in faith and service.

“Our Catholic schools unite faith, learning and community, helping students grow not only in knowledge, but in their relationship with Christ. I am deeply grateful for the clergy, educators, families and parish communities who make our schools vibrant centers of faith and formation.”
