Catholic schools celebrate with a variety of activities

Catholic schools in the Diocese of Sioux City joined together with schools across the country to celebrate Catholic Schools Week, Jan. 25 to 31. 

Schools celebrated this week with a variety of activities ranging from special Masses and prayer services to recreational activities and service. Many use this week as a chance to thank parents for providing the gift of a Catholic education for their children or a time to thank public service workers from their communities.

Bishop John E. Keehner visited several schools throughout the week.

The Diocese of Sioux City is made up of 15 schools/school systems and this year enrollment was up about 2% over last year. There are nearly 6,400 students attending Catholic schools in the diocese.
