CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK 2021
Celebrate Catholic Schools Week 2021 with Bishop McNamara Catholic School beginning on Sunday, January 31st! This year’s theme for Catholic Schools Week is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” Throughout Catholic Schools Week, Bishop McNamara Catholic School will be celebrating our community, our vocations, our faculty and staff, our students, and, of course, you, our parishes! This is also a time when we invite new/interested families to visit our two grade school sites for an Open House. Open House tours at the Bishop McNamara Catholic School Bradley and Bourbonnais sites will take place on Tuesday, February 2nd, and on Thursday, February 4th, from 3:30-6:30 p.m., and on Saturday, February 6th, from 9:00-11:00 a.m. If your family is interested in attending one of our grade school Open House dates, please contact Dana Berg at dberg@bmcss.org and/or Sue Goselin at sgoselin@bmcss.org. If you were unable to attend Open House tours at our Kankakee site (grades 6-12) in the fall, please reach out to Terry Granger at tgranger@bmcss.org to schedule a tour. We look forward to celebrating Catholic Schools Week 2021 with all the members of our community and parishes!
