Discover the Gift of Catholic Education

As the Diocese of Brooklyn begins its annual celebration of “Discover Catholic Schools Week,” we are reminded of the Gospel image of a lamp not meant to be hidden under a bushel basket but placed on a lampstand for all to see. The Nov. 15-21 celebration gives us a wonderful opportunity to shine a light on the extraordinary work happening each and every day within our Catholic schools. When we take a closer look at what is taking place behind the walls of our Catholic schools throughout the diocese, from pre-K through elementary and high school, and even into college and graduate-level studies, we begin to appreciate the tremendous gift that Catholic education truly is. Within these classrooms, young people are not simply being taught facts, figures, and academic subjects. They are being formed as individuals who recognize their inherent dignity as children of God, created in his image and likeness.
