Catholic Schools Week at Eastside Catholic School

A weeklong reflection on how Eastside Catholic students live out our Franciscan faith through prayer, action and joyful service.

Catholic Schools Week at Eastside Catholic School is a time to reflect on who we are and how we live our faith each day. Rooted in the Charism of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi, our Catholic identity calls us to pray—and to move our feet—putting faith into action to create positive change in our communities and our world—from the ground up and at the margins. Throughout the week, our students share what that Charism looks like lived out on campus.

How are we called to see, love, accept and include, listen and live to build a community of compassion, care, peace and unity?
