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, which in 2021 is Jan. 31-Feb. 6. The theme this year is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.”

Due to the pandemic, many of the regular Catholic school activities will be modified or celebrated virtually. But each school is committed to its annual food drive to help stock the shelves of food pantries at each of the regional offices of Catholic Charities.

To find out how you can support Catholic schools, contact your parish school or call the Superintendent of Catholic Schools at (904) 262-0668 or visit www.dosafl.com/find-a-school.
