Students, educators, and parents at Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja joined thousands of students across the country to culminate National Catholic Schools Week in their own special way. <\/p>\n

The school marked Catholic Schools Week with the theme \u201cCatholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service\u201d from Jan. 29 to Feb. 4.<\/p>\n

According to the school, the theme encompasses several concepts at the heart of Catholic education. Our school is not only a community in itself but also a part of the larger community of home, church, diocese, village\/city, and nation. Faith, knowledge and service are integral components of a Catholic education, which has as its core aim to build up the body of Christ. And in every community of faith, knowledge, and service there is always someone in the community sent by God to help.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe annual Catholic Schools Week celebration is a time of great joy where we thank God for sending great and special people to assist Catholic schools,\u201d said administrator\/principal Carmen H. Atalig. \u201cWe need to recognize these people who in any way shaped Catholic schools.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to all who made our Catholic Schools Week successful at Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja,\u201d said Atalig.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask all our parish communities to pray daily for the continued mission of our Catholic schools. Pray for teachers and staff members who daily witness and proclaim the Gospel to our students. These men and women truly are, in the words of St. John Paul II, \u201cgreat gifts to the church,\u201d said board member Edward C. Maratita Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cPray also for our predecessors (the late Sr. Benedict, Sr. Bridget, Sr. Ascension, and Sr. Zosima), priests, and lay people who established the firm foundation for Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja in our diocese. What a tremendous treasure they have given us to continue providing Catholic education,\u201d added Maratita. (ESFDB) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
