Catholic Schools Week 2009: Students to celebrate service during statewide gathering
During any given week you’ll find Catholic school students visiting nursing homes, tutoring youngsters or serving meals at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul dining room.
What began as a requirement for Catholic school students has quickly become a way of life, school administrators say.
Catholic Schools Week, an annual event celebrating faith and education, reflects that commitment to service in this year’s theme, “Catholic Schools Celebrate Service.” The weeklong celebration takes place Jan. 25-31.
“If we work with them when they enter our schools, it often makes a huge difference in them understanding service,” said MaryBeth Mueller, superintendent of Catholic schools for the diocese.
In addition to a week filled with activities for students, their families and educators at their respective schools, there is also a diocesan-wide spelling bee, a Mass at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral followed by a rally at the state Capitol.
