St. Francis de Sales Regional Catholic School
Celebrate Catholic Schools Week!

Next week, January 29-Feb 3, we’ll join over 2 million students and their teachers from about 6, 980 Catholic schools nationwide to celebrate CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK. The theme is Faith. Academics. Service.


 

During the week, one of our main goals is to help the students be more aware of how much they have compared to so many children in various parts of the world. We will emphasize the need for all of us to be “missionaries,” to pray and sacrifice in order that other children can receive food, clothing, shelter, a good education, as well as the “good news” of God’s love for each of them. We are so blessed compared to so many others in our area, state, country and other parts of the world.
