Faith for the Future: Supporting Catholic Education

Building Strong Foundations in Faith and Learning

This weekend, September 6–7, 2025, parishes across the Diocese of Norwich will hold the annual Catholic Elementary School Collection. This special collection directly supports our nine Catholic elementary schools in their mission to provide strong academics, faith-based values, and nurturing environments where students grow both academically and spiritually. Catholic schools are more than classrooms—they are communities of faith where children encounter Christ daily, discover their unique gifts, and learn to serve God and neighbor.

If you are unable to be present in church for the in-pew collection, you may drop off your donation at your parish. Every gift, large or small, strengthens our schools and invests in the future of our Church. Together, we can ensure that the next generation is formed in both knowledge and faith, ready to live out the Gospel in today’s world.

Remembering September 11th - Mercies in Disguise

Editor's note: The following article was originally published Sept. 10, 2023. It is republished to mark the 24th anniversary of 9/11. It highlights the very best of our shared humanity—the kindness, compassion, and generosity that transcend boundaries of faith, culture, and nationality. We share it again here as a reminder that, even in times of darkness, goodness and light can still be found in the world. Sometimes, the best stories come from unexpected moments of inspiration. Recently, I had a unique experience attending Mass at St. Columba in Columbia...

Fostering Genuine Encounters with One Another

Dear Friends in Catholic Education, The world in which we live is experiencing change at a pace unlike any we have known before. In many ways, it mirrors the dramatic shifts of the Industrial Revolution, when the cotton gin transformed agriculture, the telephone redefined communication, and the miracle of flight reshaped human possibility. Today, we find ourselves in the midst of another revolution, one driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and technological innovation, that will profoundly influence our children’s future. In this moment of transformation, Cath...
