At Catholic schools across the Archdiocese of Detroit, late January and early February bring a recognition of the gifts God has given.
Catholic Schools Week, celebrated annually around the feast of St. John Bosco, patron saint of schoolchildren, highlights the faith, academics, extra-curriculars and blessings of a Catholic education. For many schools, it’s a week of parties and dress-up days — but the root of the celebration is the deep love of Jesus all Catholic schools share with their students.
This year, schools such as Most Holy Trinity in Detroit and St. Charles Borromeo Academy in Newport were highlighted as part of “Catholic Schools Week Live,” a traveling multimedia venture showing Catholic schools at their best.

Karina:
Welcome to another addition of Catholic Schools Week live. Today, we are coming at you from Most Holy Trinity School in Detroit.
Most Holy Trinity has been around since 1838. Why we celebrate Catholic schools? It's just the wonderful opportunity that we have. Teachers can be open about their faith, share that with the students. Everybody knows everybody. Everybody comes in every morning and is recognized by name. They're recognized for who they are. And it's just a testament to the community that has been built throughout the history here.
Mariana:
It's kind of a small school, so you can make a lot of friends and everyone's very nice.
Amahlia:
It's like really fun in technology class robots and stuff, and it's really cool.
Beth:
My name is Beth Lechy. I'm the principal here at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Academy in Newport. My favorite thing about being a principal is the students. Our students are incredible and that's a big attestment to their parents and to the families.
Ashley:
All the students and all the teachers are like welcoming. There's like no one who makes you feel like you don't want to be here.
Jeff:
I came here in fourth grade and I never felt left out. You know, I mean, coming from a different school, everyone was always welcoming. Catholic Schools Week and we're having a skating party tomorrow and a volleyball game.
Ashley:
I'm looking forward to the volleyball game. My eighth grade versus the seventh graders.
Jeff:
Yeah, we're gonna win easily.
Beth:
The Catholic schools are so dependent on the communities in which they reside in. We couldn't ask for a better community here at St. Charles.
