Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This is Catholic Schools Week. It gives us all an opportunity to reflect on the contributions that Catholic education has made to our development as a Church here in the United States. We owe a deep sense of gratitude to the religious women and men who have historically dedicated themselves to forming and informing the young minds of the Catholic community.

Last Sunday, I celebrated Mass for the parishioners of St. John the Evangelist Parish, Greenfield, and visited their school to begin Catholic Schools Week. I found a school community filled with pride.

Enthusiastic and supportive teachers set up displays of the disciplines they taught or themes appropriate for the grade level in their classrooms. The principal, in turn, strives to make Catholic education accessible and affordable now and for future students. A pastor, who loves his community, inspires the children to live their faith.

The students explained some of their science projects on magnets, freezing points and the bouncing of balls. All these budding scientists amazed me with their interest and dedication.

What I experienced was a parish that took the mission to educate our young students very seriously.  

God love you! See you at Mass!

Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki
Archbishop of Milwaukee
