Catholic Schools Week 2009
Catholic Schools Week is celebrated nationally the last week in January, this year Jan. 24-30.
The logo for the observance shows the words âCelebrate Serviceâ and hands reaching out and surrounding a globe. The âtâ in the word celebrate is formed as a cross.
Schools typically celebrate Catholic Schools Week with Masses, open houses and activities for students, administrators, faculty, school staff, the community and families.
