In the face of incredible obstacles throughout the past year, the Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Newark have served as a beacon of light throughout our communities and beyond for nearly 175 years.

From teachers who’ve risen to the challenge of remote learning, to principals who have continually thought outside of the box to bring some degree of normalcy to education in the midst of a global pandemic, to students and families who’ve answered the call to adapt to these unusually trying times, and to the generous donors like you who have continued to support the cause of Catholic education; it is plain to see that our community is a strong, formidable and a faithfilled one.

I am pleased to let you know that during the fall semester of this academic year, our elementary schools had in person instruction for an average of 71 days (or 83% of the time.) How wonderful!

With your help, we can continue our commitment to provide students with a superior education, life-long friendships, and strong values.

This Catholic Schools Week, please consider a gift today to sustain Catholic education so that we may continue to provide the quality education that our students deserve.

With gratitude for your stewardship,

Msgr. Thomas J. McDade, Vicar for Education
