Starting on Sunday, January 25th, the Diocese of Brooklyn will celebrate Catholic education through the annual Catholic Schools Week events.

The Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of Brooklyn, together with Auxiliary Bishops Rev. Raymond F. Chappetto, Rev. Paul Sanchez, Rev. Guy Sansaricq, and Rev. Octavio Cisneros, will visit schools and academies within Brooklyn and Queens.

National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday, and is celebrated with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. This year’s theme for the National Catholic Schools Week is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.”

“Catholic education is essential within the Diocese of Brooklyn and Catholic Schools Week is an opportunity to witness our school/academy communities. I encourage you to use this week to learn about these and all the great things that happen in our communities,” said Dr. Thomas Chadzutko, Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese of Brooklyn.
