The week of Jan. 31-Feb. 6 is Catholic Schools Week across the United States. Catholic Schools in Cook and Lake counties will welcome the public during special open houses and will focus on the value of Catholic education with other special events in their schools throughout the week. The theme is "Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service."
Altar servers Matas Mikuzis (grade 8) and Ryan Tracy (grade 6) lead a procession of teachers at the start of Mass at Sts. Cyril & Methodius Parish, Lemont, on Jan.31. Archbishop Cupich celebrated a Catholic Schools Week kick-off Mass that morning with the parish and school community.
