Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Beginning Sunday, Jan. 25, we join with members of the faithful throughout the United States in celebrating National Catholic Schools Week.  In doing so, we celebrate the great gift Catholic education has been and continues to be not only to the millions of persons who have been educated in our Catholic Schools but also the great gift that education has proven to be to our great nation, in forming good and faithful citizens.
 In celebrating Catholic Schools Week, we celebrate not only the students who fill our classrooms and the teachers who instruct them but also the staff members, administrators, board members, benefactors, volunteers and faithful who work together to make our schools the standard for high quality, faith-based education. Our school leaders are conscious that the primary goal is to form our children in the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that as they grow academically, they also are formed in what it means to be servant leaders, faith-filled disciples and involved citizens.

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,
 
A partir del domingo 25 de enero, nos unimos a los feligreses de todo Estados Unidos para celebrar la Semana Nacional de las Escuelas Católicas. Al hacerlo, celebramos el gran regalo que ha sido y sigue siendo la educación católica, no solo para los millones de personas que se han educado en nuestras escuelas católicas, sino también el gran regalo que la educación ha demostrado ser para nuestra gran nación, al formar ciudadanos buenos y fieles. 

 Al celebrar la Semana de las Escuelas Católicas, celebramos no solo a los estudiantes que llenan nuestros salones de clase y a los maestros que les enseñan, sino también a los miembros del personal, administradores, miembros de la junta directiva, benefactores, voluntarios y fieles que trabajan juntos para hacer de nuestras escuelas el estándar de la educación de alta calidad basada en la fe. Los líderes de nuestras escuelas son conscientes de que el objetivo principal es formar a nuestros hijos en el Evangelio de Jesucristo para que, a través de su crecimiento académico, también se formen en lo que significa ser líderes servidores, discípulos llenos de fe y ciudadanos comprometidos.

After nearly a four-year absence, the major diocesan fundraiser for Catholic schools is returning to the Diocese of Sioux City, with a few changes to involve a wider group.
 
“We are very excited to announce the return of the annual Bishop’s Dinner for Catholic Schools,” announced Heidi Probasco, director of stewardship and development for the diocese. “The theme is Rooted in faith – forming saints and scholars.”
 
The event is set for Oct. 11 at the Marriott Riverfront Convention Center in South Sioux City, Nebraska. Bishop John E. Keehner will serve as the speaker for the returning event.
 
“I look forward to the return of the Bishop’s Dinner for Catholic Schools in October,” he said. “I feel honored to be the featured speaker at this first diocese-wide dinner since 2022 and I look forward to celebrating the quality Catholic education offered in our 15 Catholic school systems. This event will be a wonderful opportunity to meet supporters of Catholic schools from around the diocese.”
