By Meghan Friedland, Editor/Publisher Macaroni Kid Greater Danbury, CT January 19, 2022

Catholic Schools Week is an annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States, sponsored by National Catholic Education Association (NCEA). From January 30th - February 5th, Catholic schools will observe the week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to Church, local communities and the nation.

Catholic schools across the Diocese of Bridgeport invite you to visit their upcoming open house events later this month. This offers a great opportunity for your family to discover how the Catholic educational community of families are committed to academic excellence and faith development and guided by the belief that all are created in the image and likeness of God. With 25 Catholic schools offering a variety of early childhood, elementary, and secondary programs, all of which are Forming hearts, Informing minds and Transforming lives. Attend an open house and DISCOVER THE IMPACT a Catholic education can make and find which school is the right FIT for your family.
