- Living the Marian consecration through Lenten prayer, fasting and charity
  
  For many of us, the consecration of our archdiocese to the Immaculate Heart of Mary last year on Oct. 7 – the feast of the Most Holy Rosary – was a highlight in the life of our local church. Our leadership in the archdiocese has been emphasizing that, if the consecration is not to remain anything more than a happy memory, we have to live it in practical ways in our daily lives, personally appropriating the message of Fatima.
- Catholic Schools’ Week
  
  Catholic Schools Week provides an annual opportunity to remember and appreciate anew the contribution of Catholic schools in the United States. This remarkable school system stands apart from public and other private school systems, and is a source of great pride for the Church. It is fitting for us to recognize and remember the vision and sacrifice of the countless women and men who helped Catholic schools take root in this country and flourish to this day.
