Butte Central will celebrate "National Catholic Schools Week" with a number of different happenings throughout the school system and with local Catholic parishes.  The following is a release from the Butte Central Education Foundation:

Butte Central Catholic Schools will join over 6,000 Catholic Schools and over 2 million U.S. students in the celebration of National Catholic Schools Week 2024. The week-long celebration will begin Sunday, January 27, 2025, and continue through Saturday, February 1, 2024. Twenty-three Montana Catholic Schools will participate in the event.

The national theme for 2025 is United in Faith and Community. The theme reflects the
challenge of Pope Francis, who calls Catholic Schools to prepare future leaders of the Catholic Church.

Throughout the week, Butte Central Catholic Schools will hold a series of special events and activities to commemorate the week-long celebration. On January 25 and 26, 2025, Butte Central Catholic School parents and staff members will deliver “thank you” messages to parishioners.  On Thursday, January 30, 2025, Mass will be held at St. Patrick’s Church at 8:30 A.M. Students from Butte Central Catholic High School and Mass for Butte Central Catholic Elementary will be at 2:00 p.m.  Both Masses are open to parents and the community.

On Monday, January 27, 2025, the Butte Central Education Foundation will hold its annual Awards and Dedication Ceremony at 6:00 P.M. at the Maroon Activities Center. Volunteers, benefactors, and alumni will be honored during the ceremony.

In addition to those events, a series of activities will be held throughout the week.  For details or further information, please contact Don Peoples, Jr. at the Butte Central Education Foundation at (406) 723-6706.
