January 23, 2015 • Milwaukee County Post • 15 Post Staff MILWAUKEE — Scott Walker has pro- claimed Jan. 25 through Jan. 31 as Catholic Schools Week in Wisconsin. The proclama- tion coincides with the national observance of Catholic Schools Week and recognizes the nearly 300 Catholic schools in Wisconsin now serving almost 58,000 Wisconsin students. Noting that Catholic schools in Wisconsin "provide students with an edu- cation that emphasizes the formation of moral values and a commitment to commu- nity service," the proclamation recognizes that Catholic schools educate students in preparation for their responsibilities as members of society. The governor's words are in keeping with this year's Catholic Schools Week theme, "Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service." The annual weeklong observance cele- brates the ministry of the church and the Catholic schools. As Walker's proclamation acknowledges, "the welfare of our state requires that this and future generations of school-age children be assured ample opportunity to develop their intellectual capacities to the fullest." Catholic schools across Wisconsin will host a multitude of events in observance of Catholic Schools Week, including Masses, open houses and special activities.
