Catholic Schools Week
Written by Fr. Michael Straley on January 29, 2012
Today we begin to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. This is a special week of events for our school, some fun and some work. It is a time for all of us to pray for our school, our teachers, staff, and especially our students. Having school adds so much to the life of a parish and our school, with its long tradition, is such a blessing to us all.
You are all invited to attend an Open House after all of the Masses today. Whether you have children in the school or not, come over and see what great work is happening there. Also, on Wednesday, at 10:00 am, there is a Mass at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral with Bishop Olmsted for students of all of our diocesan schools. After the Mass there will be a rally at the Arizona State Capital celebrating the importance of our Catholic schools for our state.
Please remember that you can help support our school with your tuition tax credit gifts to Catholic Education Arizona (formerly CTODP). These gifts provide scholarships for our students from state tax monies; you give the gift and report it when you file your taxes and the state returns your gift to you.
Pax, Fr. Mike
