Dear Readers,
I hope that you enjoy the special coverage of Catholic schools in this month’s Catholic Courier. I know you will enjoy these articles, which showcase our schools as the vibrant and Christ-centered places they are.
It also is the perfect time to say "thank you" to all those with whom we partner to ensure our children get the very best: our dedicated administrators, teachers and staff, and all the parents who make many sacrifices to give their children the gift of a Catholic education. We could not do what we do without you!
If experience has taught us anything about Catholic schools over all these years, it is that their reputation for academic excellence is well-deserved. Catholic-school graduates have ascended to leadership positions in government, education, law, medicine, the arts and other professions. They make a difference and we are very proud of them.
Congratulations to those parents and guardians who have chosen Catholic schools for their children! You have made a sound investment in their future that will serve these young people well as they grow into adults and for decades to come.
If your children are not currently enrolled in one of our schools, please do consider giving them this wonderful gift that lasts a lifetime! You can find a listing of our schools at www.dorschools.org. If you have any questions, please call our Catholic Schools Office at 585-328-3210 or e-mail schools@dor.org.
May God continue to bless you and your families.
Anne Willkens Leach
Superintendent of Catholic schools
