Gov. Eloy Inos signed Tuesday a proclamation declaring Jan. 27 to Feb. 1 as Catholic School\u2019s Week for both Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja on Rota and Mount Carmel School on Saipan. <\/p>\n
\u201cMount Carmel School and Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja have provided outstanding education to their students, thus contributing to the welfare of the CNMI,\u201d the proclamation partly reads.<\/p>\n
MCS president Galvin Deleon Guerrero said this year\u2019s theme\u2014Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service\u2014\u201cspeaks to the holistic mission of all Catholic schools.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Saipan\u2019s only Catholic educational Institution, Mount Carmel School strives to educate the whole child academically, morally, socially, and spiritually, Guerrero added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not to diminish the contributions of other schools, but when you come to a school where you can be open about your faith, it can be an essential part of who we are and what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
MCS, established in 1952, and ESFDB, established in 1989, will host a variety of events starting next Sunday for Catholic School\u2019s Week.<\/p>\n
At Mount Carmel on Saipan, a kickoff Mass will be held on Sunday at the Mount Carmel Cathedral at 9am. On Monday students will volunteer at Head Start centers around the island to \u201cserve their community.\u201d The school\u2019s teacher and staff of the year will be announced on Tuesday and on Wednesday the school will focus on the topic of vocation and will host a Quiz Bowl. Students will recognize on Thursday the men and women serving the country and on Friday a roadside waving will be held, dedicated to the students\u2019 families. The parents of the year will also be announced during Family Fun Night that day. <\/p>\n
The annual \u201cNight With the Knights\u201d event will close the weeklong celebration and will also crown the AlumKnight of the Year. <\/p>\n
\u201cCatholic School\u2019s Week has always been a fun and exciting event,\u201d said one MCS student. \u201cWe get to have fun and celebrate our faith in Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja on Rota will hold similar events next week as well. <\/p>\n

Gov. Eloy Inos also signed on Tuesday House Local Bill 18-29 that renames Hagoi Rd. to \u201cKnight Street.\u201d The bill was co-authored by Precinct 2 Reps. Ralph Demapan and John Paul Sablan and is now Saipan Local Law 18-10.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt not only speaks to the school but it speaks to what the school stands for when we embrace the Knight as our mascot,\u201d Guerrero said. \u201cKnighthood is about having character and integrity and it is something that transcends MCS.\u201d <\/p>\n
Fr. Ryan Jimenez, Apostolic Administrator for the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa, echoed Guerrero. \u201cI feel like part of my priesthood is really helping out with schools and believing in the value of Catholic education.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
