Discover AND Celebrate Catholic Schools Week!

National Catholic Schools Week (CSW) is an annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. Now entering its 49th anniversary year, CSW has traditionally been held the last week in January. This year, we are continuing to promote a second week for Catholic schools to leverage their good news in a national initiative: Discover Catholic Schools Week. Discover Catholic Schools Week will be held November 12–18, 2023, and is designated to help schools connect with prospective families, donors, educators and other community members. We want to help showcase what makes Catholic schools the best when families are looking to find the right school for them. Then, from January 29 to February 4, 2023, we will still host the traditional Celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Schools typically observe the week with Masses, assemblies and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members to celebrate. Make CSW your own and share your ideas with other schools using #CSW23. This year’s theme is Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.

REMINDER: Many Gifts, One Nation: A Day of Giving to Catholic Schools is moving to November. Please stay tuned for more information on this amazing day of giving to Catholic schools in partnership with FACTS.
