House Resolution Honors Contributions of Catholic Schools
On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representative passed H. Res. 51: Honoring the Contributions of Catholic Schools, by a vote of 428 to 0 (with 7 voting "present"). The Resolution supports the goals of Catholic Schools Week. It points out that 14% of students enrolled in Catholic schools are non-Catholic, and says that "Catholic schools produce students strongly dedicated to their faith, values, families, and communities by providing an intellectually stimulating environment rich in spiritual, character, and moral development."
