Celebrate National Catholic Schools Week January 26-February 1, 2014 During Catholic Schools Week, we celebrate our students,

families, faculty and staff, alumni, our parishes, and our community, both locally and nationally. We extend our sincerest appreciation to the parishioners at St. Jerome, St. Joseph and St. Philip Churches for their prayers and support for our Catholic Schools. We are thankful for all families who invest in St. Joseph and St. Philip Schools through the BCACS Foundation. We share your commitment to ensure quality Catholic schools for the youth in our community. We are proud of our students who exemplify the Christian values that are the hallmark of our Catholic schools. We begin our week as we do each day--in prayer. On Sunday, January 26, a special Mass at St. Philip Catholic Church will kick off the week.
