FEATUREDTOPIC

Invest in Catholic Youth with Dividends for Life

An authentic education will engage students to pursue truth, goodness and beauty and impart them with the "Dividends for Life: Faith, Knowledge, Discipline, and Morals" (NCEA's 2010 Catholic Schools Week theme). A truly Catholic education will correspond to our Christian and human dignity, and enrich us for a lifetime.

The National Catholic Education Association recently celebrated Catholic Schools Week which always begins the last Sunday in January. The next Catholic Schools Week will begin January 30 through February 5, 2011. Now is the time to plan ahead for the 2010-2011 academic year and to consider hosting a gifted speaker or performer for your Fall kick-off, senior retreat or other special events. These Catholic speakers will inspire students, teachers and parents as well as cultivate faith and virtue in the minds and hearts of our future Catholic leaders.
