Catholic Schools Week 2026 takes place from January 18-24 and it’s theme is ‘Normal Lives, Called to Holiness’.
According to the Catholic Education Partnership, (CEP), “Catholic Schools Week 2026 celebrates the extraordinary call to holiness in the midst of ordinary life. Inspired by Pope Francis’s reflection on St Carlo Acutis—the first millennial saint—this year’s theme invites pupils, teachers, families, and parishes to explore the call to holiness as something both universal and accessible. Holiness is not for a few, but for all; not reserved for religious professionals or mystics, but for every student, teacher, parent, (and grandparent!) living each day in friendship with Jesus Christ.”
Catholic schools exist to form individuals who know that their lives have a purpose and a calling. This year’s theme, ‘Normal Lives, Called to Holiness,’ resonates with the central conviction that education is a path not only to knowledge and maturity but to sainthood.
