What is National Catholic Schools Week?

Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2026 is “Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community.” During the week, schools and parishes focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.
