Catholic Schools Week

Together with our 115 Catholic elementary and secondary schools in |

the Archdiocese of Detroit, we join over 7500 Catholic schools nationwide to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. This year's theme is the "Good News in Education", which highlights the unique features of Catholic schools: the integration of the Gospel into every part of the educational experience and the academic excellence.
The 2007 Catholic Schools Week logo represents these two aspects with the open book symbolizing both the Bible and knowledge.
We salute and thank all teachers, staff, board members, administrators, volunteers, pastors, parishioners, benefactors, and especially parents who have dedicated their time and talents, all working together toward making Catholic education a valuable investment in our lives of our young people.

Detroit Hundreds of students from Catholic schools throughout the area filled the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament last week to hear an important message: "You students are our gifts of great price. You are our treasure. You're worth every cent of (tuition), and every ounce of our time."
As we prepare to celebrate Catholic Schools Week, January 28 - February 3, 2007, I rejoice with you in giving thanks to God for the gift and blessing of quaity education within our Archdiocese and all around our country. We have been blessed with a strong tradition of support for Catholic education here in this part of the United States.
