Dear Parishioners and Friends,

HAPPY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK!

Every year during the last week of January we cel- ebrate Catholic Schools Week. It’s a time to cele- brate the presence of Catholic Schools throughout the United States. As a product of the Catholic School system during my grade school and high school years, I personally know the value of a Catholic education and now appreciate the oppor- tunity to pastor a parish that has the privilege of having a Catholic School.

“The Bible cannot be just the heritage of some, much less a collection of books for the benefit of a privileged few. It belongs above all to those called to hear its message and to recog- nize themselves in its words. At times, there can be a tendency to monopolize the sacred text by restricting it to certain circles or to se- lect groups. It cannot be that way.

We are getting to know more about him as we see how he struggles with the news of his cousin John’s arrest. His first response is to withdraw, to leave Nazareth and go to Capernaum. There he is perhaps both consoled and challenged by the words of Isaiah that Matthew quotes: “the people who sit in dark- ness have seen a great light, / on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death / light has aris- en” (Matthew 4:16). Jesus contemplates his cousin’s death, perhaps his own death, and he seeks the light. Maybe it is these words of Isaiah Anointing Mass that move Jesus out of his withdrawal and into ac- tion.

When and where was the first U.S. Catholic school established? According to the National Catholic Education Association’s website, it’s hard to pinpoint, but clear that U.S. Catholic education has deep roots. The Franciscans opened a school in what is now St. Augustine, Florida, in 1606. Not too much later, and farther north, Jesuits were ed- ucating Indian children, including our new Ameri- can saint, Kateri Tekakwitha.
