Fifth and sixth graders from four of our Catholic schools took a step out of the classroom and into the great Michigan outdoors, enjoying an unforgettable three-day retreat at Our Lady of the Fields Catholic Camp and Retreat Center in Brighton. The retreat gave students from All Saints Catholic, Auburn Area Catholic, St. Joseph the Worker and St. Mary’s Schools the opportunity to meet new friends, foster community and grow in faith and teamwork.

Our Catholic school communities are encouraged to contact their elected leaders during the first annual Impact in Action: Nonpublic School Awareness Week, Sept. 23 through 27. This is an ideal opportunity to contact or meet with your state senator and representative to share the vital role your nonpublic school plays in the community. Join together in this important advocacy initiative to elevate the voice and impact of non-public schools in Michigan!

Our Catholic schools have much to celebrate, from senior successes to award-winning teachers.

Thank you to everyone who contacted their legislators regarding the school safety and mandate reimbursement funding! On May 1, the House Appropriations passed HB 5503 which includes $18 million in the general fund for nonpublic schools to participate in the school safety funding.
