SUNDAY: Celebrating Your Parish
Catholic schools benefit all year long from the religious guidance, prayers and support parishes provide. Many parishes join in CSW celebration by devoting a Mass to Catholic education. Schools start the week by inviting parishioners and community members to parish-centered events and school open houses that feature outstanding academic programs, religious education and service opportunities.
TIP: Even if you are not a parish school, reach out to local parishes early in the year to see if you can be part of a Mass during CSW. This is a great way to reinforce the shared commitment of faith and academics forming the whole child.
Ideas for Celebrating Your Parish
- Involve students and teachers in the Sunday Mass by offering the readings or speaking.
- Invite families or groups of students to welcome parishioners as they arrive for the CSW Mass.
- Encourage random acts of kindness by distributing written prayers for others.
