"Precisely when and where the first Catholic school began in this country is a bit of a mystery. What is known, though, is that Catholic education dates back, historically, to at least the year 1606. Now, more than 400 years later, we celebrate the benefits and strengths of Catholic education throughout the week of Jan. 25-31 — Catholic Schools Week 2015.
So, what’s important about Catholic education? Well, to quote The Most Rev. Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, “Catholic school graduates make good citizens, deeply committed to social justice, the care of the poor and the planet, proud volunteers in the church and in the community."
