Pandemic didn’t stop Catholic school spirit during CSW 2021

From Jan. 31-Feb. 6, 2021, the Diocese of Owensboro’s 17 Catholic schools celebrated annual Catholic Schools Week. While activities were significantly revised due to COVID-19 pandemic safety guidelines, the students, faculty, staff and families still managed to celebrate Catholic education. Below are photos submitted by several of the schools.
