Area Catholic schools celebrating special week

Originally posted on www.thesunchronicle.com

FALL RIVER — Catholic Schools Week, the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States, is taking place next week.

The theme is “Catholic Schools United in Faith and Community.

The Diocese of Fall River Catholic schools will join thousands of Catholic schools across the country by inviting their local communities to experience Catholic education through open houses, school Masses, tours, and other traditions.

“Catholic schools have adapted when faced with shifts in technology demands, demographic changes, and the lingering social, emotional and academic impacts from the pandemic,” the National Catholic Education Association said. “Their resilience confirms Catholic schools’ enduring commitment to providing a grounded, faith-based education in a world that continues to be in flux.”

While affordability is always a concern for many new families, Christina Duggan, vice president of operations for the Catholic Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts, said scholarships are available.

“Every year, Catholic Schools Week provides the opportunity for our schools to celebrate their rich community traditions and tell their great story of how Catholic education has formed young people to go further and serve, lead, and impact the common good,” said Daniel S. Roy, superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Fall River.
