It’s Catholic Education Week

This year’s theme:  Rebuild, Restore, Renew Together”  As a faith community let us lift our voices in prayer for those who work to provide education to our communities’ children.  May educators be inspired, committed and dedicated to weave the saving message of Jesus Christ into the learning atmosphere of our schools.  The Catholic Education Week biblical quote is: Behold, I make all things new.”  Revelation 21:5

This is also a good time to check to see if your property taxes are allocated to the Catholic School System.  Check your tax notice.  If you have recently moved it has likely defaulted to the Public School System.  Call your municipal office or the school board office for assistance.  Thank you.
