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."
Kindergartener Sonia Marusarz reads while her sister Violet Marusarz, a third-grader, and her mother stand with her. School families took part in carrying out aspects of the liturgy that morning.
