Catholic Schools Week, January 25-31, 2009: "Catholic Schools Celebrate Service"

This week is Catholic Schools Week.

Here in Norwalk, we have a lot of things going on in celebration of our Catholic schools. Below is a list of just some of the activities (pdf) taking place this week at Norwalk Catholic School:

Jan. 26, Monday
'St. Paul the Apostle' Presentation by Ted Swartz at 10am

Jan. 28 & 29, Wednesday & Thursday
Eucharistic Adoration in Saint Paul High School Chapel - All are Welcome!

Jan. 29, Thursday
Early Childhood Center Story Time For Tots 10:45 am

Jan. 29, Thursday
5th Grade D.A.R.E. Graduation

Jan. 29, Thursday
Spaghetti Supper 5-7 pm
Early Childhood Center Reynolds Hall

Jan. 30, Friday
All School Mass K-12 with Bishop Blair
Saint Paul Convocation Center 10am

In addition, I've been invited to attend a luncheon with Bishop Blair following Mass on Friday (probably because I'm on the Early Childhood/Elementary Advisory Board). I'm really looking forward to that.

If you're interested, you can read the talk that I delivered last year for Catholic Schools Week here. It details my family's decision to relocate to Norwalk from Virginia so that our kids could be educated in the Catholic schools here.

Finally, you should also check out the Mustardseed newsletter (pdf) to read about some of the excellent programs and opportunites offered at Norwalk Catholic School.






St. Thomas Aquinas (whose feast day is tomorrow), patron of Catholic schools, pray for us!
