Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School celebrates Catholic Schools Week January 27 - 31 1

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School celebrated Catholic Schools Week, January 27 – 31. The 2014 theme was “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.”  K4-12 students participated in special events throughout the week celebrating Community, Nation, Vocations, and Faculty & Students.


Grandparents were invited to our St. Bede elementary campus for Grandparents Day on Monday, January 27 and the Holy Spirit campus held a book fair all week. The St. Bede campus art show “Once Upon a Time” Art show – A look at the art of illuminated lettering, was on display in the main hallway all week. The MCPS Parent Teacher Council treated students, faculty and staff to several special events throughout the week. Although the winter storm interrupted the middle of the week, each campus kept all those who touch Catholic education in their prayers. 

A week to celebrate all that Catholic Education is. Montgomery Catholic is blessed by its wonderful community of “Faith, Knowledge and Service.”
